I couldn't catch up to you.

After 3 and 1/2 Days in the hospital, I am finally home.  I've had more pokes than I can handle and between the last 2 days I walked almost a mile round the halls in my unit.  On Wednesday I got brought through the heart center (attached floor) due to the goal of walking a half mile by my day nurse.  Overall I had a great room with a great view.  The sleeping routine left a lot to be desired. 

I pushed myself as much as possible to meet and surpass markers I needed to meet to get out of the hospital.  If it were up to my day nurse I would have met one final marker.  I still haven't met that one and I'm home which tells you it wasn't up to her.

My surgeon was doing rounds today with her nurse during which I was walking the halls.  I met her and her nurse on the other side of the unit as my room was located on.  She claimed I was walking to fast and she couldn't catch up to me. With how fast I was walking, I find that hard to believe.  Never the less,  Doc, Nurse and I had a conversation in the hallway, after which I continued to walk.  I made another lap around the unit and Doc and Nurse were chatting outside someone's room.  I stopped and moved closer as I still had another question.  I asked if my case was discussed at tumor board this morning.  She said no and that my case would likely be discussed next week.  I was told earlier that her nurse would stop by to schedule my in office Post op appointment.

After I completed my laps and returned back to my room for a while.  My Surgeon's nurse came by and talked with me about everything I should be doing after getting home from the hospital.  She had previously scheduled my post op appointment and I requested she change the time so Leah could go with me to that appointment.  That appointment is on February 27th.  I'm sure we talk over what was discussed at tumor board (including what future treatment plan is), Look at my incision, and talk about return to work.

Overall I'm disappointed my surgeon wasn't able to remove the whole tumor.  After the explanation of why, I respect her decision and why she was not able to do so.  So according to what she had to say earlier this week the next course of treatment might be Radiation.  As was hoping to finish this process with a few treatments of Chemo, this so far looks different than what I was expecting.  So of course there is a small amount of anxiety of how future treatment will go and that there is even future treatment

I'll keep healing in the next several weeks and will post more here after my post op appointment later in the month.
