We made it home from the hospital, earlier this time. Everything went well.
Karen is moving better than after the first surgery and much more groggy and tired. She's napping now. A home nurse is supposed to come out to help with the drain and changing bandages. We should be contacted by a lymphedema clinic to setup treatment. I think there are exercises as well.
The surgeon was unable to put in the port for chemo during this round, which means another outpatient excursion, possibly next week or the week after. While it would have been nice to have that done, perhaps it's best only to have her sore on one side at a time.
The follow-ups with the surgeon and the oncologist are both Thursday morning. Hopefully, the drain will come out then. We won't have pathology until at least then.
4 hours of sleep inspires brevity. That's all for now.
