But I was quietly, peacefully enjoying my breakfast served at around 8.30am. I started to make a lot of conversation with the nurses, the cleaner auntie, anybody who came to sight!~ I paid attention to their daily routine, I started to understand how things work around in the ward. I think nurses here are really doing a good job! Well-respected!
The husband came after dropping the girl into her tuition centre. Had breakfast in my ward, we talked a little. Not too long, my mum-in-law had called him over to be the delivery guy for my lunch (Ha!) So poor man took a route back to home, picked up lunch, went to pick up daughter at the end of her class at 12pm, and both came to see me again about 12.30pm.
Just before they reached, my main attending doctor, Doc H came to check on me (like finally!) He was more like a daddy image to me, I don't know why. On the decision-making day, he told me not to worry at all, as it'd just be a small surgery. Then today, he told me the pain and discomfort which I'm feeling is common, as I just had a big surgery. -.-||
I guess he's just doing his doctor charm, huh?
So Doc H gave me an estimate visual on what's coming next. I'd probably need to visit him 1 week after my discharge (which is estimated to be a total of 7–10 days stay at the hospital). Then from there, he will explain to me on my chemotherapy treatment dosage and schedule. He told me to take thing one step at a time, now what I need to do is do a lot of exercise, walk around and eat as per normal.
...
It was great to be able to spend a few hours with the daughter and husband that afternoon. And we had 2 groups of visitors too in the afternoon, both coming from the husband's family. I'm thankful for all of the supports and concerns given. Thank you!!
Oh with the help of one young nice nurse, I was able to take my shower and hairwash. The op site was covered with plastic and surgical tape. That felt really refreshing. However, some water went in and damp the dressing. We had to use the hair dryer to air-dry the bandage, as the dressing would be changed only Breast Team, and Breast Team doesn't work on weekends!
Spent the night alone too cos the I have requested the husband to go home and rest too for a new working week the next day. Affecting his performance at work, would be the last thing I wanna see happening...
