Phase 1 Complete

I just got back from the consultation room where I talked with Dr. Brown, the first surgeon. He let me know that his part went very well. He saw no problem areas in what he left behind. The removed tissue will now be sent to Pathology, and we will likely get the results back by Monday. Dr. Brown doesn't expect that the news at that point will be anything other than good. Let's all hope that the margins are clear.

Dr. Kleto, the plastic surgeon, had already gotten started with his part of the surgery (according to Dr. Brown). If things go as expected, she should be coming out into a recovery suite by 4:00pm if not a little earlier than that. I'm looking forward to that. Also, she should be really funny for a while since anesthesia always leaves her loopy. No telling what she'll be talking about for the first hour or so.

  1. Hang in there Big Guy. Everything is going to be just fine...

    When Dr. Deb wakes up, tell her that we're all thinking of here and praying for a short and complete recovery.

    Thanks for the updates.
