Yesterday I got my stitches out!  Yeah!  (And by the way, there were 15.)  Also, I got rid of that drain tube and bottle.  I was so tired of that thing!  I'll go back on Friday to have any fluid that might still collect in the incision area taken out with a needle.  The soreness under my arm is from nerves that were cut. The doctor said that feeling should go away after a while.  He said I'm healing well.  I couldn't get my pathology report because the computers were down, but Dr G. did say that a 1 cm tumor was found in the one lymph node that had cancer.  That doesn't sound real good.  The treatment will be determined by the oncologist, who should be contacting me soon.

I feel pretty good, still a bit sore.  My arm is limited somewhat, but the doctor didn't put any restrictions on me.  I do my finger climbing wall exercises to help my arm move the best it can.

I think I'll go to church Sunday!  It's Easter!  I'll be lopsided, but I'll wear a scarf -- Scarves are my new best friend!
