Post Surgery Update

I arrived at UPMC Montefiore at 8:30am. They got me registered and took me back, I changed into my hospital gown got my IV, blood work, some other shots and meds and got ready to go. That was scary but every person, every DR, CRNA, Residents, Nurses, CNAs have all been WONDERFUL . 

Form Montefiore they wheeled me over on my bed through a bunch of hallways to Presby. This is where I had the surgery done. 

GREAT NEWS: they did not have to remove as much as they originally thought they removed abdominal muscle, tissue,  and the cancerous tumor (my sarcoma). I only have one drain, a catheter, 2 IVs and a heart monitor that I am dealing with now. Oh and these legs things that prevent blood clotting.  I have not spoke to the surgeon yet but he has spoken to Jamie. He told Jamie that the got clear margins and were waiting on pathology for the grading of the cancer. 

Jamie is doing great by the way and I am so happy at least he can be with me I could not do this alone.

I am in a lot of pain, but the nurses are doing an excellent job at making it tolerable. 

I will update tomorrow back to resting <3
