Had my first doctor's appt. (with Dr. Falcone, the plastic surgeon doing the reconstruction) since the surgery today. And, (hallelujah!!) had two more tubes removed, so I'm down to two which I hope will be removed on Wednesday when I see the surgeon who did the mastectomy. Dr. Falcone was impressed with how well I was healing. In addition to removing the tubes, I also had the bandages removed and it feels so good not to have tape and drains pulling on me!
It also felt good to get outside for a little bit to enjoy the sunshine we've been having. My sister, Denise, says she brought it from New Jersey (I'll be good and not make a New Jersey joke since she's been doing an excellent job of taking care of me and I am very appreciative). Bob also did a good job of driving to and from the appointment on the city streets without jarring me so much that I would need to have the drains reinstalled! But, the excursion tired me out so much I had to take a nap when I got home.
So, I'm planning on low key evening with a book and TV and will post again after my next doctor's appt.

Hi Renie,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on having 2 more tubes removed! I bet you feel like you can finally move a bit. Sending you distant healing for your post-surgery appointment today. Maybe you'll be free of tubes altogether! Take care and get your rest. I can picture you now with your blue/green scarves draped over you eating bon bons (not really). Take it easy and keep up the good work.
Blessings,
Mary
