Hi all - I wanted to wait until I had the pathology report on my endometrial cancer before reporting back to you, and thanking everyone for thoughts and prayers.
The surgery (March 10) went well - I had it "my way" (spinal as opposed general anesthesia). I'm recuperating well - and the pathology showed that the cancer had gone up to half way into the muscle wall. So I'm feeling very happy about it all. I did take lace to the hospital with me, but had made a makeshift pillow out of a (too) small piece of styrofoam wrapped with a piece of heavy cotton. Bobbins were not wound ahead of time, and I found the whole exercise too frustrating. So I did some crochet (I don't tat, Noelene!), and read and did some logic puzzles. Keeping watch over the old dears in my ward kept me out of mischief, too. I'm as good as 60, and was the youngest by 20 years! All that is behind me - now I wait to see if the Cancer Centre will interest itself in my case. And since we are planning a family reunion of my husband's siblings in July, out comes my proper pillow, and back to making bookmarks! Again, thanx to everyone who thought about me and prayed for me. Bless you all!
