I am encouraged today, because my pain is minimal, and I am getting lots of rest. I have some swelling, which I expected might happen after the drain tube was removed, but it is manageable. Thank goodness there is currently no sign of infection. That makes the healing go faster!
I have been hanging out at home, (of course) and doing little "projects" like organizing my pills, and going through mail, and working on my homemade cards. These are all things I can do sitting down, with a minimum of movement, so they don't irritate the wounds.
I am not taking any pain killers today, and probably won't until bedtime, because they do help me to sleep soundly and get a good night's rest. Normally, if I slept as much as I have been during daylight hours, I would be very restless at night. The pain medication helps to keep that to a minimum, too.
I have had a few visitors, and this has saved my sanity. ...LOVE MY FRIENDS!!! "Keep those calls and letters comin' in, folks!" LOL! (That's an inside joke for those of you old enough to remember the Dean Martin Show)
More later,
Love you ALL!
Mary :)
