On the Other Side

This will be short because I know tomorrow I will have time to make all my observations and comments. I did well, did NOT come out of anesthesia all crazy shaking and sick to my stomach, just woke up all calm and ready to go home. I did have a few tears, but I usually do. This, without a doubt, was the best "wake up" ever.

I got home at 9pm. I didn't forget anyone, I got to stay an extra two hours because I kept requesting pain medication :) (if I could do a HUGE smile with all teeth I would insert that here). I used to be conservative on the pain meds and today ECT said screw it, get it while the getting is good. Already dipped into the vicodin too (another huge smile with all teeth showing inserted here). And oh, by the way, it hurts pretty significantly.

When I woke up Dr. New said I wouldn't remember being told my lymph nodes preliminarily looked clean WRONG I remember it!!! I can't possibly find the words to express how happy and relieved I am to have that result. Of course, it could change, but I am going the positive route this go round and hanging to it staying negative.

I know that I have officially left the start line for my pink path and while I won't go as far as to say "I'm happy, but I am damn glad to have left the gate."

And I wonder about those hospital workers, do they dip into the goods, they are the sweetest happiest nicest wonderful people on the planet. They must all valet park! ;0)

I left the huge monkey I've been carrying around at the hospital today, it's good to be back and to be cancerless!!!!
