Yes, I had my surgery on the ninth. I'm doing pretty well... and probably because I'm taking my pain meds as scheduled. I had a bizarre reaction to the gabapentin; it made me unable to sleep so I really didn't get any sleep the first night and the next day I was super hyperactive; primarily my brain was flying, and my body wasn't very active. I walked the very next day twice in about a quarter of a mile each walk - and walking daily since. My drains are flowing well and I think I will have them out on Thursday. I was a bit spooked by how bright red bloody one drain was - and it didn't flow pink until just yesterday. All in all, I think I'm doing well for recovery. Now it's just waiting on the path to see if any further treatments are required. I did not have lymph nodes removed, instead were dyed so the sentinel lymph nodes can be isolatedand if I have more than pre-cancer, I will have an axillary dissection. Hopefully I'm all clear... Thanks for asking!
