Waiting is the worst!

I'm still waiting for the pathology report and at my Dr. appt. today she said any time now she should have them and she will call as soon as she hears. I'm trying to stay patient but that has never been my strength. I have been super spoiled since my surgery though! I've gotten tons of flowers, treats, cards, gift baskets, and thoughtful texts and calls. I really feel super loved and I appreciate the thoughts and prayers. In lieu of news here's a bit of a catch up on how recovery is going.

I left the hospital feeling pretty good. I have a drain (read: nasty tube connected to a plastic hand grenade look alike that catches all the nastiness) on each side coming out from under my arms. It is stitched in but since I am supposed to "strip" the lines and empty them I didn't feel like that was quite secure enough so I added a band aid (that easy my queasiness a little). I also left with a Q-ball (weird ball of lydacain) connected through thin tubes to the middle of my chest for numbing. Basically I left feeling like a science experiment but I was determined not to be wheeled out if I could walk so I walked out holding my little lydacain purse. That day I  felt fine and the next day too. I even showered and went down stairs watching Camden. Sunday was awful. I felt like I was going to throw up all day and couldn't get out of bed I was so queasy. I'm not sure if I took pain meds on an empty stomach or what but it was the worst. Yesterday was good again. I'm pretty uncomfortable at night since I'm a stomach sleeper but percocet is helping me out (as are three big pillows and sleeping sitting up). Today my doctor pulled out the Q-ball stings and I am already feeling a little more normal not having tubes connected all over the place. I have to wait a week or two for my drains to come out unfortunately. The pain hasn't been too bad but they cut some nerves in surgery so it will be awhile until I get full feeling back. Right now I'm just pretty uncomfortable and trying to take it easy so that I don't over exert myself. It's really hard not just doing as much as I can and as much as I am used to but I'm working on it. I'd be pretty mad at myself it I caused an infection or messed something up.

Thank you for the concern and thoughts!!! I'll update when I have more news.
