Well everyone, last Friday I went into the hospital for my bilateral mastectomy/top surgery. After 3 hours under the knife and then an hour or two more coming out from anesthesia, I was able to go home that night.

To the diligence and skill of my surgeon and doctors, I've been feeling better and better every day since that major procedure. I'm very excited for what the future in my recovery holds! Tomorrow I have a follow-up with my surgeon, and I might have my surgical drains removed which would be one less thing to be concerned about while I walk around the house recovering.

I appreciate the kindness from friends who have sent me good wishes before and after the surgery. I was even lucky enough to be sent flowers, which is one of the sweetest gifts I've ever been sent.
