I'm Home!

Surgery went well and I am home. So my Doctor's orders are interesting. I have to take a 5 minute walk every hour, do arm lifts every 15 minutes, do a breathing exercise once per hour, empty my drains every 5-6 hours, take pain meds every 4 hours, and my antibiotic every 12 hours. That my friends, is a full time job all in itself! My follow up appointments are Tuesday with the surgeon and plastic surgeon, and Thursday with the medical oncologist, so I will find out the plan for my follow up treatments at that time.

My mom is here to help for a few days and I am just going to try to get through my daily tasks and pray for quick healing and ease of sore muscles. I have an anesthesia block that will last for one or two more days but it is mainly for the incisions and not so much for my muscles.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support. I truly could not be so positive without the love, prayers, thoughts, meals, cards and good wishes from everyone. I hope that I can be there for others in their time of need in the same way others are doing it for me right now.
