My Journey Notes:
Official release from the surgeon yesterday. They declined to do the follow up monitoring (as indicated in my initial appointment with them) and told me to go back to my primary dr for monitoring. That was the only unanticipated outcome. He brought an entourage with him (two interns and his tech); went over the pathology report and was happy with his handiwork — the scar will hardly be visible once it’s finished healing. It will actually be thinner than the previous scar.

Med ordered and picked up after a slight delay at the pharmacy, but only another 30 day fill — and I’m sure that another visit to the lab for more blood work in a month is on tap to make sure levels are good and get another 30 day refill. So back to the doctor in a couple of weeks to establish that monthly routine with his office.

Brain fog and lack of focus have been pretty much the center of attention the last few days. I’m sure lack of sleep is a BIG contributor at this point. I’d sure like to get a full night’s sleep without the every two hour wake up and/or the unable to go back to sleep elements of my night.

3 good things from yesterday:
Spent some time with my oldest daughter
Finished up 20 “thank you” cards and bagged cookies for delivery as promised
All post surgery restrictions have been lifted
