hasta la vista baby

Yep they are gone.  The sentinel node exam at 7:30, and then I waited in the ambulatory center until about 10:30.  On e they took me back and I watch as a army of people went about their day.  Surgery started at around 2:30 and ended at around 5.   It did take me a long time to come to though.  I am just now feeling like I am myself. So, here is the skinny.   

Both breast- gone

lymph nodes on the left side gone

port in - check

yep everything that was to be don today is done.

I am feeling relieved ( I am sore, very sore) so very relieved.  I go all in on things so I am all in and lets get the plan of action going.  It appears that I will be doing some Radiation (bummer) and some chemo.  I have not spoken with the surgeon but may family has and they have relayed the information to me.  Seriously don't know know much I would gather since I have and incredible morphine cocktail swimming through my veins.

Bumps:  Sore, it is temporary.  I think I have mooned everyone on the wing.  I don't like feeling like I can't stay awake or focus

Battle:  I am not nearly as hideous as I thought.  The whole self conscious thing is already kickin in-

blessing:  I know that the four corners of the globe lifted me up today because I could feel them.

Great nurses, doctors and staff.  The were courteous even gracious.  They did not walk on egg shells around me .  They were exactly what I needed.  

I know there are many more- but I cant keep my eyes open any more.
