Soon the doctor came in, looked at it and instructed the nurse he would need 4x4's, Lidocaine and 18 ( I think) gauge needles. He had me take off my shirt and bra and placed white paper over most of my breasts and started injecting Lidocaine in a circle around my cleavage. I lost count after 14 injections, there were more, but by that time I was trying to remember to breath. He reminded me that he hadn't heard my O2 interrupter go off in quite some time. It isn't a good idea to hold ones breath when they have low oxygen levels anyway. lol
Finally he began to cut and I felt snipping and pulling and digging. He said he was leaving a "wick" inside to help it continue to drain. He then put a pile of 4x4 pads over it and taped it up. He gave me a paper bag full of pads to bring home in case it kept bleeding. I thought, how could it bleed through all this?
Well, tonight it is bleeding through. Not bad yet.... I think I will wait until I change it. I go see him again in the morning, and I am hoping he can change the bandage.
Here it is as of now...
Layla spent the night tonight and we played some of her games she got for Christmas. Her and Priscilla went to bed early tonight.
I called Gail (my friend who was diagnosed with lung cancer) and she just had the brain scan today. She promises to let me know when the get the results. So far they are talking about 8 weeks of radiation and chemo. I wish I could go down there but I think I am looking at having my uterus removed in January sometime.
I'll keep you updated on how everything goes.

I have just found a friend. I have had my life change in one weekend back on June 7th of this year and was hospitalized with the out come of COPD and I am now on oxygen 24/7 and unable to work. I too am on this journey with you.
Hi Kellie. You are a strong person inside and out. I admire your bravery. Keep up the faith. God Bless You.
Gail, I am sorry to hear about your diagnoses. It's one I wouldn't wish on anyone.
There always seem to be daily struggles of some kind, but the trick is to find something to keep you busy every day.
Annie... You are so sweet. Thank you.
What creates the website of an treatment harm after you have gotten a photo How far does the hook have to go into you to successfully produce.
Vaporizer, I am not sure what you are saying?
If you are wondering why I would put a photo like that up there it's because this is my blog.... yes it is very public, but when I started this I promised to hold nothing back.
I am not sure what is caused by my Copd/Emphysema and what is not.. therefore, all things will be documented.
I hope that answered your question, or satisfied your remark.
woot, thankyou! I finally came to a site where the webmaster knows what they're talking about. Do you know how many results are in Google when I search.. too many! It's so annoying having to go from page after page after page, wasting my day away with thousands of people just copying eachother's articles… bah. Anyway, thankyou very much for the info anyway, much appreciated.
