Sugar is home. The surgery went fine. We won't have the biopsy results until Tuesday or Wednesday.
The surgical site looks nasty. They had to cut all around to try and get everything. They couldn't go as deep as they wanted, turned out the lump was right on the jungular!
She has 2 levels of stitches, one level inside and one outside. They did not use dissolving stitches in either as those tend to produce irritation. And with this location, Sugar can't wear an ecollar so they wanted to minimize any irritation.
She has a cough which was not expected. Hoping that is from the intubation and should go away by tomorrow. She is not coming out of the anesthesia as fast as they would like; they are thinking this is the pain meds keeping her subdued.
Thanks for all the well wishes!
