Well on Monday I had my surgery. An incision biopsy of my Subclavicular Mass. Fancy doctor terms for 'taking the lump out beneath my collarbone'.
I was pretty nervous. It is pretty stupid, but I was most concerned about being sick after the surgery. The Anaesthetist told me I had a one in four chance of being sick afterwards. I am never sick! I am well known for my record, my vomit-free record, 13 years!
So anyway, at about 9am we arrived at the hospital and before long I was gowned up, climbing on the hospital bed and being wheeled into theatre.
They put a canula in my hand and injected the drugs to make me sleepy. I felt like they weren't working, and I remember looking up at the funny lights they have in the operating theatre wondering I wonder when I will start to feel sleepy and BAM! I woke up in the recovery ward. Well it wasn't such a BAM! wakeup, I was very dopey. I felt like I'd just woken from the best sleep ever.
I got to go home not long after, and I have two little bandages where they took the biopsies. It turns out they couldn't really get to the one on my chest very easily, so they took a bit of the one out from my neck. So it all went well and I was completely fine after the operation, apart from a sore neck I felt fine. I even had McDonalds on the way home because I was starving.
We are hoping to get the results soon, but the surgeon said it could be up to three weeks.
