Surgery

I went to see Dr. Bourne today for my follow-up visit after surgery.  She is the type of Dr. that could make a 5lb tumor seem like a piece of cake.  She is very calming and reassures me that the next surgery should yeild clean margins, but if not, they could do a 3rd.  It's not uncommon to do that.  She gave me my pathology report, and of course I came home and looked up every word that I didn't understand.  That's probably not a good idea, but I want to become educated about the diagnosis and the progress.  My 2nd surgery is scheduled for this Friday at 1:45.  I'm sure I'll be saying overnight.  I have requested the same anesthesiologist that I had before, hopefully this will allow me to have a better recovery.
