Update - saw breast surgeon - sleeve a go for Tuesday

 For those of you who have followed my breast biopsy/ abscess - surgery cancellation - rescheduling saga - here goes:

went to breast surgeon yesterday - had huge hematoma aspirated  - no more infection after course of antibiotics - aspiration has helped with some of the breast pain - dr said she could only get about half of hematoma material due to thickness of old blood in it so I still have a golfball sized hematoma but it was tennis ball size so that is some improvement.

My sleeve surgeon called and asked that I come in so he could check for himself and I just got back  (1 1/2 hr each way) - he said unless it gets worse before Tueday then I'm a go for surgery on Oct 2!!!
Finally - it has been a long road.  Now I just have to make sure I don't catch a cold or have an accident, lol.  

Now the surgery nerves are setting in - not afraid of the surgery but have concerns about blood clots, dehydration, leak, etc.  I am self pay and that includes 30 days of complication coverage but I live 1 1/2 hrs away so if I have to go to local hospital, I am on my own.  So believe me I will be super vigilant about following directions and my surgeon's plan.

So thanks to everyone for all the good wishes and support - I'm sure I'll be posting again before Tuesday - I'm sure my anxiety will bubble up and make an appearance on the boards, lol.
