OT More on the NightMist Saga

{{{{NM}}}} geez.....see what happens when i go away for a few months...can't leave you alone!!! But, truely, I do hope it's a benign diagnosis. I had endometriosis and had very bad anemia. They ended up doing a hysterectomy. A few weeks off your feet and feel like new. Sending huge prayers and good vibes your way.....rest as much as possible... amy in SoCal

Hi folks. This is NM's DH. I haven't done newsgroups for years and am not really familiar with this software she uses, so I'll probably make a mess of this, but she wanted news posted.

She made it through surgery and her vitals are reasonably good. She was awake for a while until they got pain meds actually going and all that. On hearing that they were going to give her a couple units of whole blood, she said that if she starts to sparkle, stake her quick before she starts angst-ing. I'll assume that you know her well enough that no explanations on that quip are necessary.

Ok, the mass was large. From her doctor's precision method of holding up his hands to show about how big, apparently about as long as a football. Probably didn't have any laces or stripes on it like a football, but you get the general idea. The doctor says it was a cancerous tumour. They apparently got it all, and also took out some lymph nodes that were near it just to be safe. He was very pleased with her vital signs and how fast she was recovering from the surgery. She's in ICU, but they say that's more because of a lack of beds in the normal place they keep beds, and normally they would have put her in a regular room.

If I understand the doctor correctly, she may be coming home as soon as Saturday. It was definitely a doozy of a day.

Thanks for letting us know! Barbara in FL

Thanks for the update. We have been worried. I'm glad the surgery went well and hope a speedy recovery from that. Sending healing thoughts her way. Hugs, Taria

Big {{{HUGS}}} to NightMist & family. Looking forward to being able to hear from the lady herself once she is back home. I'm sure she'll have plenty to say!
