This is the lovely dressing I have to keep in place for 5 days. It's not easy trying to sit on one bum cheek. This is what they call a pressure bandage to prevent bruising and swelling. All this for a tumor the size of a walnut, go figure.
Anyway, the surgery was Oct 15th. Overall it went well and it doesn't look like there is any cancer. We will get the pathology report within the next week or so. Dr Randall was wonderful, along with the entire staff at Huntsman cancer center. We had a bump in the road early morning on the 17th, which took us to the ER, lucikly all of the pain,I was having was what they call delayed post op pain. It was not fun to not be able to move your neck or swallow very well, but back home and to bed I went to get through this. Pain meds have helped a lot but sometimes I forget and then I'm back to square one again. You'd think I'd learn by now!!!!
