3 days post op

Hi All-
I'm doing okay, sore. However, my pain is controlled with narcotics, even though I'm not a huge fan of taking a lot of pills. I"m also getting plenty of rest, which is a nice change from the usual. I still don't sleep much due to hot flashes and night sweats, but the narcotic coma I stay in seems to over ride menopause symptoms!

More updates as time passes!

Update for Tiffany

Just got a call from Steve. He wanted me to let everyone know that Tiffany made it through surgery just fine and that she is at home resting and will post in more detail when she is up to it.

Dear Friends & Family-
I'm sorry for not updating this blog any sooner. Truth is, I've been recovering since the last time I wrote & didn't have anything exciting to share. I've been regaining my stamina & some strength. I've even gotten my hot flashes under control, so I've gotten several good nights sleep!Much slower than I'd like, things are returning back to normal.

I'm only hours away from my reconstruction surgery, & am once again, I'm faced with the anxiety of going to surgery, and the recovery process. I know this is a much less invasive surgery than the last, but I'm still nervous. Not much else to say about this: I know it has to happen....

Again, thank you all for the support and good cheer over the last several months! The emails, phone call and letters have helped me in so many ways. Thank you!
