It's been a while since I posted anything. Things started looking up for Week 3. The PS suggested I start clipping off the ends of the Steri-strips as they start to lift following my shower. The nurse is just about done with her visits as the incisions are all but healed up. I'm quite comfortable doing the wound care (saline wash, checking for healing/infection, rebandaging). All the drains are out now thank goodness. The nurse took the last one out late last week.
This week I had to hobble off to Bradley's school, slightly hunched over since I still can't stand up straight, to do interviews with his teachers. Thank goodness my husband was also able to come. I still can't do the driving yet either. They did have an elevator thank goodness.
Progress is so very slow each and every day. It's hard to keep the spirits up sometimes. Daytime TV sucks and I'm running out of movies to watch.
Week 4 was good. I had a restful week, and spend the Friday with my son watching TV since he had a PA Day. He did some extra chores around the house that I couldn't do - what a good boy! My daughter may be home next week for reading week and I'm looking forward to someone to talk to.
A good friend treated me to one of my favorite Chinese dishes from downtown. It was fabulous!!!! It definitely made my week.
The boys and I are volunteering at the 5K on the Runway on Sunday. My job is sitting still counting money in a trailer. I started to get sore after a few hours but didn't stay that long. We went for our usual dinner with my sister and her family at The Mandarin buffet afterwards. They did a great job pulling this event together and raised over $44,000 for our local cancer support centre. Whoo hoo.
