that no nodes were involved. We will hold on to that. Now for your recovery not yet being complete. Please do not be so hard on yourself. Your body, your whole psyche, went through a tremendous assault/insult, even more than was anticipated. It takes time to recover., so please, give yourself the grace and patience you share so generously with others. One thing I want to mention. You were under anaesthesia for six hours. That also takes recovery time. The effects can, in some cases, linger for months. One of my friends, a bit older than you, broke her hip. Clean break, easy surgery, nothing unexpected. It took a good two months for the effects to be completely gone.

Just know that your DU family is surrounding you and your family with love, light, healing, strength and stamina. We are here for you and you loved one, always.
