And boredom is setting in. I’m not strong enough or have enough mobility to be useful, but not weak enough or immobile enough not to try and do things. But boy I get tired fast. Changing clothes take so much energy. I have to stop and rest continually. And I’m starting to learn to use my right arm when it’s going to require the use of my pectoral muscles. The twinges of pain have reminded me enough.
A friend took me for ice cream tonight, I stayed in the car. Geez, even that was a test of patience. Couldn’t do up or undo the seat belt on my own, and had to wear it under my arm. The bumps in the road bothered me. The ice cream was good 🙂 And I got out, finally.
The drain, I can’t wait to get rid of it. Not only is it ucky but it gets in the way. They took a boob and added a new appendage to my side. It isn’t draining much anymore, could probably get it taken out now, but the surgeon is away until next Monday.

If there isn’t anything draining can’t they take it out in emerg. Do not need specialist for thejob.

Hey Connie,
Glad to hear you are recovering so well. Your whole ordeal sounds very scary and uncomfortable and my heart and prayers go out to you. I’ve been reading your blog and your words speak strength with a positive attitude…these two things are the right ingredients for a quick recovery. Good job girl. Can you please call me at work ext 137 and give me your address, as it is unlisted. There are others here wanting to get your address too. Thanks….Talk to you soon (on the phone).
