Lot's of good thoughts going he way for a speedy uneventful recovery.
Regarding the sleepiness now, Those patches take about 24 hours to
really kick in so she may now be feeling the sedating effects,,, .

Just an update on Emily, my friend Renee's girl with breast cancer.
She had a total
mastectomy, they removed both mammary chains at once (sometimes they
can only do one
at a time due to not having enough skin to close the incisions).
She'll be starting
her chemo after her sutures are removed in two weeks, and the
pathology report will
be back at that time too. The tumor was removed at the beginning of
December and it
was diagnosed as Adenocarcinoma. The surgeon said he didn't see any
other tumors
during the mastectomy, so things are looking promising. She's REALLY
cute in her
t-shirt. This way she doesn't have to wear an cone (elizabethan collar):

Thanks to everyone on your positive thoughts and well wishes for
her! She seems to be
doing good, she has a pain patch on, and is on a course of
post-surgical antibiotics.
She was more active earlier, Renee thinks she may have overdone it
and is now a
little sore, as she is sleeping in her bed on the floor now (as
opposed to climbing
on the bed, etc).
Renee is a member here too, BTW, she's just not come out of her
shell yet enough to
talk... :-)
(so any replies, she will see)
