I hadn't known at all! And when I got to "none of which were cancerous" I just whooshed out a huge sigh of relief. SO GLAD!!!

Well, the doctor told me several times that she was waiting for the pathology report, and I was unconcerned. I was out of it enough that I didn't latch on to the possible worry until she said it was all normal, and I was cancer-free.

*Then* my brain went around in little hamster wheels, all freaked out that it could have been worse, until a few moments later, when I realized how silly I was.

Reading your answers to the subsequent comments... An awful (literally) lot of this is familiar, from going through it with my dear Dunkelpig. (The icon is our guinea pig she took her LJ name from.)

So glad you're feeling better!!!

Thank you. Sparkle seems to think I should be absolutely all better, now that I'm home. Slow and steady does it, y'know?

So glad that you're home and healing! I think you're the first person I've known who's had the Davinci surgery... technology is truly an amazing thing!

It IS a really kewl thing. I'm more than a little amazed at just how much got done through those four little holes in my tummy!

I'm glad to hear that you're home and feeling better.

My Mom hated those leg massaging things. She couldn't wait to get out of them.

I was sort of wishing I still had them back home. They made me feel warm, and my legs all relaxed. I could see where they might make people feel like they wanted to be left alone, and not be touched any more, though.

Yay our Judi is home and safe and well. Yay Judi!!!

Happy hugs!

And I really got REST last night, even though I got my darling husband up twice.

I'm still pretty emotional, though. It doesn't take much to overwhelm me.

yes, nothing like hospital staff waking you up to give you sleeping pills or make sure you are sleeping to make you appreciate your own bed.

You don't have to be strong all the time! love you

It's a good thing I don't have to be strong all of the time, because I'm not.

The hospital staff was all so very nice, though, it was easy to be okay with being poked at, even at night. The second night was easier, because my vitals were stable enough that they could let me sleep without worrying that things would stop functioning if they didn't check on me!

The world is still at a stage where things are only sunny while my meds are up-to-date, though.
