Dr. Clovon

July 21 had my post op appointment with Dr Clovon and it went really well. The incision looks really good and all heal up. I ask her if I was in menopause and she said full force. Every thing was good on pathology report no cancer. I ask her about what happens now that I don't produce any estrogen. She said my body still produces a little from the adrenal gland. I ask her about my bones she suggest that I have a bone density test done just to see if I have healthy bones. I go back to see her on Aug. 25 for a pelvic examine just to be sure that am all heal inside. Which I am sure I am. So every thing is going so good. Its all the work to God who I give all my thanks to. I would be no where if it wasn't for him.

Dr. Oommen

Today July 15 had my visit with Dr Oommen. I had lost 3 lbs since July 6 probley due to my surgery. My lab work was good except my blood sugar was high. So I guess I need to go have that check out. Dr Oommen said every thing check out good. He still plans on keeping me on a 10 yr plan if not longer. He said I will still be on my Tamoxifen and he was very serious about the 10 yr plan and longer. He said the cancer I had is a very sneaking one. If taken a pill every day is whats going to keep the cancer away then that is just a drop in a bucket. I love my team of doctors.

Had my surgery on July 6 at 8:40 in the morning. Mandi came to pick me up at 5:30 and I check in at 6a. Went to a room and put on my hospital gown and Mandi and I watch a little TV for about a hour. Nurse came in and ask question and put like 4 hospital bracelets on and took some blood. About 7a they came in got me took me to pre-op room and Mandi went and sat in waiting room. In pre-op room they gave me a IV and had several different nurses and doctors come talk to me. They have gave me a bag of fluids, a bag of meds, a bottle of Tylenol thru my IV. Then Dr. Cloven came to talk to me then they gave me a dose of what they call happy drug. I remember when it took affect and it didn't take long for it to hit me. I remember being wheel out thru some double doors and that was it. I don't even remember getting on the operating table and them putting the mask on me to knock me out the rest of the way. With my last surgery I remember getting on the table by myself and breathing thru the mask.

Then when I woke up they were talking to me and they were shaking me. They were taking off the ekg stickers and next thing I new they were wheeling me to my room. Room 212 same room I had before with my last surgery. And there sat Candice and Mandi. I remember I could not talk I had lost my voice it was down to a whisper. I guess it was from the tube. Candice show me that they hospital had a nice hand bag with shampoo,bath soap, conditioner, and lotion in it. The nurse brought me some water and hot tea for my throat it was very sore. I drink some the hot tea. Candice had to leave so Mandi and I sat there and visited. Later La Sha came up to visit and she brought me some hot Starbuck tea and lemon drops and a cinnamon bread. I drink on the Starbuck tea and ate a bite of the bread. Dinner came and it was clear liquids so I drink the broth and some of the other drinks on the tray. It wasn't to long after that every thing came back up. I mean I throw up every thing and it was a lot and I could smell the mint from the Starbuck tea. The nurse even said that was alot. Later Mandi left to go home. Then I laid down and went to sleep for the night. Thursday was a good day seen Dr Cloven and they took the cath out and got to take a shower then got to go home that afternoon.

I go back to my post-op appointment on July 21th. I will say this surgery was a little more intense then the last surgery. A little more pain and harder to get around.
