Jen, not to throw cold water on your "good news" scenario, but it is possible to wake up from your surgery to find that they didn't do the surgery due to not getting a pathology report back for the samples they take prior to doing the dissection. It doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen. That's what occurred with me and it was a little disappointing. I got through it, and had the dissection at a later time, but waking up and finding it not done caused me to be a little upset. Hopefully, this will not happen and you will sail through like most patients, but if not, keep in mind that this too shall pass.
