I'm sorry I haven't been able to update my blog recently, but it is very difficult to do so while at my Mom's house (computer location, incredibly slow dial-up connection, and very poor eyesight being a few reasons).
As this title mentions, I had the stitches removed yesterday - Yahoo! We went to Dr Black's office, leaving the house before 11am and didn't get back home until after 6pm due to the Cape Cod weekend traffic. Considering I hadn't been out of the house for more then about 1 1/2 hours since my surgery, I was completely wiped out and fell asleep as soon as I got home. That was a bit of a bummer because yesterday was my Birthday and I missed most of the calls from my family & friends. Dr Black said that the incision looks great and told us more about the tumor, why the 4 hour surgery ended up taking 8+ hours, why they had a hard time getting me to breath and my heart to beat as I came out of anethesia, and what to expect in the future. He is such a wonderful, caring man and as I left I ended up giving him a big hug. I will post more on the findings when I am able to get home to my own computer, but for now I just wanted to let everyone know that it was a grade 1 tumor as we had hoped for (Yeah!). Speaking of going home...I get to do that tomorrow (Sunday 9/3). I can't wait to see all my Setter "kids". I have never been away from home for more then a few days so this has been really hard. My Mom and Gramma Kelsey have been taking really good care of me, but I'm a pretty independent person and it has been hard for me to be dependent on others.
Thanks again to everyone who has posted comments on my blog, sent emails, cards, and flowers, etc. I never expected such an outpouring of support and it has meant so much to me! I've been taking notes of everything that I have done or gone through and will be posting it all here along with some more pictures, I just ask you to be a bit more patient with me because I tire very easily, get some intense headaches as the nerves are regrowing together, and am having some difficulty with my eyesight (lots of double vision and my left eye is totally blurry when trying to read).
Take care,
Sue
