It's now been five days since surgery. DKO seems to be feeling better every day, though she's still not really up to going out. (Our trip out the other day was abortive; she was too tired to really do anything.)
The "wound" seems to be healing, but there's still blisters and swelling around it. We've got an appointment with the surgeon tomorrow and presumably he'll let us know if that's all going as it should.
What I'm holding my breath about is the pathology on what the surgeon removed. The first question is did they even get the tumor. Then we want to know if they got clean margins. Then they do various tests on the tumor if they got it and those are used to decide on chemo, radiation, etc. Finally, they do additional tests on the lymph node(s) they removed which will hopefully confirm that there's no spread.
Holding our breath, fingers crossed, knocking on wood.

Us too. We all love you.
Hope you get the absolute best news at the doctor appt. We're praying for you! On the flip side, Ernie must LOVE having people home all the time!
