I spent about 3 1/2 days inpatient at Mercy. My body cooperated much faster than anticipated and, after a Wednesday evening surgery, I was home on Sunday afternoon. Since then it’s been all about healing.
Thank you to everyone that came up to visit!!
The days following my discharge had Chris running all over. He took the week off to get Ian to and from everywhere he had to be and to manage his own very full performance calendar.
In the middle of it all I had an oncology check up and chemo begins January 15.
This week has been a little slower. Both boys are out for the break and Chris has been able to put in some hours at work.
My healing is progressing too. The swelling is slowly going down and the pain is less each day. Did you know that prescription narcotics can zap you taste buds? I didn’t until it happened to me. I’ve been able to move to over the counter pain killers during the day and prescription ones at night. It’s helping, slowly.
I saw my surgeon today and he likes how I am healing too. 4-6 weeks and all the swelling should be gone and incisions healed. For now I have to just have patience and rest.
Thank you to everyone who has come by, called, texted, etc. We appreciate it.
