SURGERY DAY!!

2/25/2014

4 Comments

 
Its about 9:45 and mom was wheeled back to surgery about 20 minutes ago. When I got here she had already been to Nuclear Medicine for the dye injection, which she said ...hang on, dads talking to me...ok, mom said that the injection was a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10. The doctor or tech said its really painful for some women, even traumatizing. Thank goodness not for madre! (and sorry for all those women who it is terrible for).

Moms surgery was originally scheduled to begin at 9:30 and last til 1:30. So, we will expect to hear something around then or hopefully sooner.

There are buzzers going off like crazy - they give you one like at restaurants now. When your person is out of surgery, they just buzz ya. And in the waiting area is a screen like at the airport. Your person is assigned a number and you can check the screen to see where they are surgically (pre-op, post-op, pr somewhere inbetween). Its a full day of surgeries - the parking lot was full and lots of people waiting.

Just heard a code blue called in room 547, 5 East. That was creepy. Moms in an operating room, but still...Im gonna check the board.

Ill post info when I have it. If you're just tuning in, dont miss moms post from the butcrack-o-dawn. Good stuff!

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes - please keep em coming!!

Dad just checked the board and shes still waiting - they havent begun yet (9:56).

11:20 - Dr. B came out and said his part went well. Initial Sentinel evaluation looks good, but further testing is still to be done. Dr. A was beginning his part and will take a couple of hours. All is looking good so far. :)

Dr. B is the same surgeon who did my appendectomy a couple of years ago - liked him alot. Feel good about him working on my mom.

    Janene...

    ... was diagnosed with breast cancer on November 11, 2013. This is a place for all of the people who love and care about her to get the information about her treatment and her personal experience of kicking cancer's ass, (sometimes from her daughter's perspective). It's hard to stand by and not be able to do anything to help. Writing gives my mom an outlet and allows both of us to share information during this time. Therefore, we blog :)
