I'm Back!

Well, I just went through the worst week of my life.
I went to the hospital for a lumpectomy and ended up in Intensive Care for 3 days. I don't want to discuss what happened but my breast and my chest and my arm are black and blue and yellow and green. I also have a drainage tube running out of my breast. Supposedly I had a reaction to the pain reliever that was given to me post-op and I started bleeding internally. I had a very large hematoma and had to be taken back into surgery the next day. After that I went to intensive care. Needless to say, I was pumped full of narcotics and my body is not used to that. They sent me home early since my insurance wouldn't cover a longer stay and last night I went through a terrible night. I covered myself up with 2 large comforters and when I woke up this morning, I was soaked in sweat, but back to my old self. I'm recovering at my mother's....me and my little dog.

Thanks for keeping me in your prayers!
