It is noon and Vonnie was wheeled into surgery around 15 minutes ago. The surgery is scheduled to take around 4 hours so hopefully she will be out somewhere around 4pm. The plan is to do her second mastectomy (left side this time) as well as reconstruction on the right side. The right side expander will come out and an implant will be put in. They will need to evaluate what is causing the fluid build up in the right breast (self diagnosed as a seroma) and decide if a drain is required. They would like to avoid a drain due to the increased chance of infection not to mention the discomfort and hassles it causes. So for now I sit and wait and pray that everything goes as planned.
