Saw the surgical oncologist yesterday...got staples removed...have almost as many (38) steri strips now...lol..incision looks good. I see him again in a month!
I am having (still) a pain deep in my right lower side....it is uncomfortable..and when I sit, sometimes it feels akin to something swollen, or inflamed in that area. I found out yesterday, they did indeed remove my appendix...soooo...maybe inflamed there OR from the deep digging gynie had to do to find ovary and fallopian on the right side??? Anyway, I was in bed, and asleep by 930pm last night..wore my butt out yesterday....lol...we have a two hr trip, one way, to go there...and have to go back Friday to see the gynie...
Anyway, I lost 37 lbs. throughout the whole ordeal...sooo....that is a good thing, right??? smiles...
Still being upbeat & positive and I will conquer this "pain" also. I will myself to heal, inside outward...and swim with the dolphins when the pain worsens...it is ALL good....
I heart you all....hugs to Jo & Julies and the MOMS!
DAPPER: it is usually the individual surgeon's choice....OR if a patient requests it..I would have preferred the sutures....just for a number of reasons...BUT staples is okay.....lol...
hugs n kisses to all...Clay
