PRE-OP AND RECOVERY

I met with my primary doctor this morning for a pre-op check-up and surgical history. They took blood and urine but will use the EKG they took from a couple of weeks ago.

I then had an appointment with my surgeon. She went over the surgery in more detail and answered the couple of questions I had.

My surgery is scheduled for 1:30 on Friday (Good Friday) with a check in time of 10:00. The surgery should take a couple of hours with a couple more for recovery. If they don’t have to take any of the lymph nodes, then I’ll be able to go home after that. If they do, I’ll be spending the night.

As far a recovery goes, there are too many variables for her to tell me what my recovery will be like. She did give me a prescription for Percoset in case I need it, but said some women don’t need it. I hope I’m one of those women.
