Here We Go.....

I got a call from the anesthesiologist tonight but I missed his call. He gave his cell (mobile) number but it went right to voicemail. Oh well. I do have some questions for him. I was very nauseated when I had a a general anesthetic many years ago. Plus I have some apprehension "going under". Anyway, I get to speak with him before the surgery.

Now just have to pack up my own pharmacy of herbs, tinctures, vitamins, supplements, potions(!), etc. to take with me. Plus an assortment of healing foods and drinks.

We leave the house at 5.30am to get to the hospital for 6.30am. The first procedure is at 7am; I get radioactive dye injected in my breast to locate the first (sentinel) lymph nodes. And then the actual mastectomy operation is 9am. Takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Thank you so much, everyone, for your love, prayers, metta, positive energy and support!

I'll let you know how I fare.

Stay tuned for the next installment!
