The Surgery and aftermath

My surgery was on 2/27 and went very well. I was in a lot of pain but was controlled through the drugs. Richie spent the night with me and I was released the next day. Once home I had a cough but didn't think too much of it. I spent a lot of time sleeping and really don't remember much. On Sunday I woke up shivering and shaking. Richie took my temp. and I was running a fever.
We called the doctors office and they told me to come into the emergency room. Erica and Aunt Ellen took me in and I was there for a long time. Richie came and they took Tyler with them and he stayed with me.
Everything with the surgery looked good. They did a CT Scan and I had signs of pneumonia. So I was admitted to the hospital. I was there until Saturday. I was finally let go after being fever free for a couple of days. I am still on the antibiotics but doing much better.
I still have some pain from the surgery and one drain is still in. My breast surgeon was amazing I have almost no bruising and the scar looks really good.
On the 21st I get my port out finally Yeah it is starting not to work. One thing I would never recommend is the port in the arm way to much can go wrong.
I am starting to heal though and feeling better and that is all that counts.
