Post-Op

Alisa is out of surgery.  The doctor said everything went really well. He said they were able to get all the tumor out and he was able to find a couple of nerves and avoid cutting them.

Alisa will probably need to do some physical therapy, in order to strengthen some muscles and get some range of motion back.  There is also a strong possibility that she will have lymphedema in her arm because of the large tumor it was affecting her lymph nodes.

She won't be doing any push-ups in the near future, which is devastating, she is obsessed with doing push-ups.

She is not in pain yet, but is pretty nauseous.  They have given her about every drug available for nausea, including some aroma therapy.

She mostly keeps talking about the pain she is going to be in, when the drugs finally wear off, I think she is a little too familiar with how drugs work. "its gonna hurt", sleep, "its gonna hurt", sleep, etc.

I was expecting something like this when she got out of surgery, no such luck.  Should I be offended?
