Today's Thoughts

Today had my maectomy. I'm so glad this part is over. Didn't pack till 4am this morning. I'm glad. BuT, I have an unusual observation. When I was being prepped, my surgeon came in and held my hand. He held it for about 5 mins. I didn't know what to think, still don't.  Has anyone else experienced this? 
  • My breast surgeon is the only doctor I’ve seen who calls me Jenny instead of Jennifer. I don’t remember telling him I preferred that or why he does it but I like him because of it. He comes across as very caring. And the anaesthetist was lovely too, we talked about my hobby and she told me about the theatre nurse decorating a cake to look like an operating theatre. I felt I was quite relaxed before my surgery.
