Thanks for the update. Remember to rest, take it easy, don't try to do too much. Let your family and friends help you - take those offers of casseroles, help with your kids etc.
Those first few days/weeks after surgery are tough. Emotions are all over the place, as well as all the physical stuff. Try to conserve your strength, you'll need it when you start chemo. (which is very doable).

all the best
