"Doesn't hurt as bad as the wasp sting."
Laura is repositioning the wires laying across her bed and adjusting to her new environment out of the recovery center. Systems are obviously back online.
I smile. My teasing just before the surgery isn't forgotten. She had mentioned the wasp sting resulting from yard work yesterday as we were doing pre-op with the surgeon. I turned to my sister sitting next to me to have some fun. "Oh, she was quite whiny about the wasp sting. 'Oh, it hurts. Look! It's swelling!'"
We had to look really close to see the swelling.
Laura was speechless. I hadn't belittled her sting at all yesterday when it happened, and now here I was impuning her character in front of my sister and the surgeon.
It was great.
So the surgery was uneventful, and sentinel nodes were clear! Praise God! We're doing the happy dance here -- the virtual happy dance, anyway.
Thanks so much for all your shows of support and prayer, and stay tuned!

The wasp sting did too s W E L L.
And yes, the happy dance indeed! The weight lifted by hearing "clear nodes" has me on cloud 9 - and no, it's not the pain meds. I'm not on any! :) Not tough, just not hurting.
Thanks to all for their support - Lamar's my rock and you kept him standing strong!
