Happy Thanksgiving!
I got home from the hospital tonight!
No cancer cells found in any of the tissue checked and it all looked like scar tissue. The wafers did match the tissue so they were put in to kill any nasty cell that may have been there.
I was kept awake for the 2 1/2 hours during the surgery and never put back to sleep. They talked to me through the whole thing.
I am having a little trouble with having feeling in my feet (they work fine) and once in a while I cannot remember something short term just as it was before the surgery - time will tell whether or not it is temporary or permanent.
Over all it appears that things came out well, life will go on and be good!
Thank you for your prayers and support!
Barb
