I had a Reiki Master with me for the day - she's in the video and explains how it all works.
The surgery was pretty easy. They gave me a prescription for hydrocodone which Simon was able to get filled right there at the hospital pharmacy. I was able to keep the pain down with just advil, until we removed the bandages after about 2 days. I found that the wound would rub, especially at night on my sheets and I would be in a lot of pain. I ended up taking the drugs a couple of times, especially helpful for getting to sleep at night.
Waiting for Surgery - It was FREEZING and the back of head was cold so I had to wrap the blanket they gave me around my back and over my head.
There were 2 incisions. One on the breast and one in the armpit for the lymph nodes. Surprisingly the armpit incision has healed much faster than the one on the breast. I have put vitamin E oil on the wounds daily (they close them up with a glue of some sort, no incisions) and now after 4 months they look really good.
Here's what the breast incision looks like today
