Moving along. The next surgery happened on Friday, February 25, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. It was pretty much the same as the last one except that I did not get a mammogram and wire inserted beforehand in the tumor. Another change was the anesthesia. I had twilight sedation this time instead of general. I think my nurse called it a MAC. Nice name. I do like MACs, especially Apple’s.
The sedation and pain meds caused me to be quite talkative on the way home and for several hours afterwards. Greg’s Facebook update said, “Hi, here's an update. Leah came out of surgery feeling pretty good. And much more alert than the first time. Dr Runk was confident she found and removed all the scrofulous rebel cells. She's snoozing now and will be on pain meds for a few days. And ice pack 30 minutes every hour until later today. The doctor and nurse both said to expect more pain than the first surgery. Going back in tends to result in more discomfort. And she was really chatty yesterday after we got home. Geesh. blah blah blah You'd think she was on drugs! LOLOL”
