The much dreaded surgery has come and gone, and all is well. We still have to wait for pathology and some culturing of the retarded lymph node, but the doctor said that it looked healthy. Deep breath.

We had a pretty easy night, and actually got some good sleep. She’s only complaining about pain here and there, at which time I promptly dope her up with Loritab, although it doesn’t actually seem to “dope” her or help much with the pain.
Here she is BEFORE surgery and AFTER the dose of “get her high and
make her calm” medicine. It was hilarious.
After the surgery.
To Porty, thanks for the Slurpee. And the company. And thanks to those of you who were thinking of us

Maybe the blessing actually worked
