Progress is coming

 Yesterday was a tough day even though I took it easy.  As Amy said, it is like when you have a really good workout and you are typically sore the second day rather than the first.  I am supposed to be wearing a supportive bra and maybe it was just too supportive because I was seriously bruised by the end of the day.  I'm going to forgo it today.  

Yesterday, my recovery couch arrived.  Thanks to Melissa for buying one so I knew what to expect, but I got a different color, so we aren't twins.  The delivery driver would only drop it at the door, but it was snowing so I talked him into putting it in the garage.  The couch came in about 5 boxes and on a pallet.  Amazon!  Since I cannot lift anything over 10 pounds (honestly the tea kettle is too heavy), I called upon Mike and Ashley to come over for dinner and couch building.  Thanks again gang.  

I pooped today!  💩 Anyone who has ever had surgery knows that you get super stopped up.  I sent Amy to the store of MiraLAX, but by the time she came home I was golden.  However, I was in there a while, but wow did I feel much better.  

Today is Day 3 from surgery and that is where progress is happening.  I was allowed to take off the bandage today.  It was not too painful to take it off, but still there was some grimacing.  And some of the tape took off my skin.  And now those areas are leaking.  

But the best part was I SHOWERED.  Obviously not my normal scalding shower where I keep turning the hot up and up.  And I didn't wash my hair.  I was more turning it down and down to allow the water to run over my boob.  But that is where some mild screaming took place.  The water touching the exposed skin was painful.  I just let the water and soap flow over the boob.  Showering felt so good though.  

Murray is taking some laundry to the wash and fold so that we have clean sheets on the bed, and I have some clean button up shirts.  I will find some other chores for him as well.  😏 Me, I'm going to lay on the recovery couch for a bit.  

Until next time....
