howdy all
i'm sitting right now on a well-padded couch in my uncle's living room with my family. however, i'm kinda tilted to the right cuz the incision was from my butt to the back of my left knee (= manly scar, OH YAH!!).
the time that i was in pre-operation prep (ie. getting info for anesthesia, etc) was one where i really felt at peace - wasn't too nervous or scared. thank you for your prayers. i can't say that i've ever REALLY felt such peace as that through prayers before, so, i believe it was peace through the Holy Spirit that kept me relaxed before surgery.
the anesthesiologist drugged me up with some buzz-drug to relax my nerves as they wheeled me into the operating room. they got me ready on the bed. i then inhaled some stuff through this oxygen max and then i tasted/smelled this chemical and then i woke up in the recovery room. woke up all groggy and had dry mouth. felt some pain but it wasn't unbearable (like 4 of 10 on pain scale).
stayed the night in the hospital room and had some visitors which enlivened my spirit.
got discharged this morning as there was minimal bleeding from the wound.
THANKS to God for a good surgery and minimal pain thereafter - like i only feel tightness and a little soreness in my wound. i can immediately start walking a little and i should be walking sorta ok after a week. i can eat anything and can start showering tomorrow. this has been an "easy" process so far. God only gives you what you can handle and i think this "easy" tumor was all that i can handle (cuz i'm pretty weak).
gonna wait on the 2nd biopsy (of the extracted tumor) to see if i need any further treatment (ie. radiation/chemo). God-willing, won't have to do any further treatment.
anyways, thanks to God and thank ya'll for your love so far!
