Can you believe it? This hospital doesn’t serve buttery surf and juicy turf with a vodka tonic splashed over ice. Good thing they’re great at serving up heart/lung repair as a main course! 🥰🦸🏻♀️🎉🎈
As you can see by my ability to joke around (after pressing my pain pump button), my recovery is going well, thus far. My two hour heart surgery was Tuesday. My 7 hour lung surgery was Wed. And lots of good news, following both, made the smiles of my family and friends radiate with joy blended with relief. Dr. Reardon ❤️ had to remove one major heart vessel and a small portion of one atrium. Dr. Chan removed the lower portion of my right lung after seeing that the chemo had destroyed 80% of the tumor, and pathology reported that all margins are clear and all lymph nodes are clean. Though high pain levels have had to be tolerated, my little buddy, the pain pump, has been my constant companion until, today, when I was switched to pills, so, we’ll see how that goes.
My husband and I have decided to stay in the Airbnb with David when I’m released from the hospital in a few days if all continues to go well.
I feel buoyed on love and expert medical care.
