Susan was a trooper during the pre-op procedures. She was loaded with blankets, super cool compression stockings, IVs to keep her hydrated, anti-nausea meds....the works! They put a hat on her to keep the heat in and it looked like the Jiffy Pop container. I wanted to post a pic of it but Suze put the kabosh on that.
The first surgeon completed her part around 2:20pm. When she came to the waiting room Steve was in the restroom...niiiccccee. For her part, all looked good. The lymph nodes didn't look abnormal (which is good) but final pathology on that won't come back until Friday or Monday. (We're guessing pathologists don't work on the weekends!)
Surgeon #2 finished around 3:10p. She said Susan was "stable as a rock" during the surgery. Inserting the expanders went well and they were able to add quite a bit of fluid to them already (which is a good thing). She's back in recovery now and should be going up to a room around 4 or 4:30p.
That's all we know for now. Keep ya posted!
