At least metaphorically.

Had my follow up appointment at Roswell today.
As many of you probably already know ovarian cancer has a dismal
mortality rate. Primarily because it is usually not discovered until it
is well advanced, generally stage 3 or 4. Considering the size of the
tumor I was not really expecting particularly good news. I was
delightfully surprised to be informed that I was stage 1A, everything was
still encapsulated, they want to give me four inpatient chemo treatments
just to be sure, and it should be all taken care of. They are 99.9
percent sure I am going to be fine.
Betcha that is what was weird about it. They wanted to double check
everything because they did not expect such an early stage with such a
large growth.

Less good, I have a bit of infection at the bottom of the incision. So
they popped it open like a ziplock, rinsed me out, and packed the wound.
I was scatting opera during this little interlude so as to avoid swearing
at them. Honestly, the aftermath of all this is more comfortable than
the staples were. I am still a bit owie near the infection, but not near
so much elsewhere.
We'll have a visiting nurse in tomorrow to change the dressing and start
teaching DH how to change it.

I am going to try to coax DH into an ice cream run to celebrate the good
news!

That is good new, really! I keep my fingers crossed that the infection won't
have any unpleasant consequences. Keep mending!

U. - and a HUG for you, too.

That is so good to hear NightMist. I think that is the best news
possible, in the situation. We are happy dancing and jingling (cat
bells) here for you in Scotland!

Oh thank goodness it has been dealt with, now to rest and get better and
plenty of ice cream, yum, what flavour?

So when can you start quilting?
