Post surgery update

Sorry, I have not updated this blog throughout this process.  I have been doing most of it on facebook . . . but this site is really important as it serves as a historical record of this journey.

Jill had surgery last Thursday at St. V's.  She had both breasts reconstructed and a total hysterectomy.  The surgery was a bit over 5 hours and went very well.  It was performed by two surgeons.
Jill stayed at the hospital until Saturday.  Overall she did fairly well, but had a fever the entire time that was worrisome.  She came home on Saturday and did fairly well.  Later Sunday she started to feel worse.  Headache, pain, nausea and her fever went up.  And oh yeah, I was starting a new job the next day.  I know, but leave it be.  We talked to doctor and they were not too concerned.  The next day my mother was over and really pushed Jill to drink.  After a while, that seemed to make all the difference.  By Tuesday she was nearly herself.  Now Thursday she is really amazing.  She went to the doc today to look at her breasts.  Someone drove her, but she did great.

Today we got the results of the biopsies from all her removed parts.  Totally negative!!

She will be slowed down over the next month or two, but we think the future looks great.
