Yup, it has been two weeks since surgery. Since then I have learned to putz around the house....I have sort of enjoyed putting together a puzzle, colored, did some writing, walked around the block (that would be the kitchen, hall, living room, and dining room loop)....and slept....alot!
I do have to say I have felt pretty good....took minimal amounts of pain medication, tho I did take some when I couldn't get comfortable.
I am so thankful for all the meals and goodies that have shown up.....Dave is too! Thank you so much to all who did that.
Went back to the hospital for two appointments last week. The first appointment was to have the incision checked and to have the staples removed. That went well. They left a few in, the rest will be removed next week.
The second appointment was with the cancer team. All good reports with the exception of the pathology report. The path report showed that there was a tumor that was still active in one of the fallopian tubes. Of course it was removed during surgery and the doctors believe that they got all of it.....but to be sure everything was destroyed, removed, or otherwise gone, the doctors are recommending two more rounds of chemo....so in mid February, back to the chair we go.....
I can't deny that I was taken aback...I hoped it would all be done. But as I process and deal, I know that this is a positive course, especially if it prevents cancer from coming back and heads us towards remission.
Not cleared to go back to work, but I have showed up at a few things because I miss everyone....
Anyhooo......thank you for your continued prayers and love....Know I love you and miss you too!
Blessing Abound! Elayne
