Home Sweet Home

This will be a short post but I wanted to let you all know that I am okay. I'm still in a great deal of pain and still exhausted but I'm okay. Pain in the incision, my neck and all the way into my chest. It still hurts to take a deep breath but the drain tube came out today (still leaking a bit but at least that annoying tube is gone!). I can't remember ever being so wiped out but that might be because the last read on my blood pressure was 81 over 53... just a tad low. It will come up over the next couple days.

The hospital was extremely noisy but the nursing staff were all amazing and so, so sweet and kind. I've been very well taken care of and will be for some time to come.

I just took more drugs so I'm going to lie down in my wonderful bed and yummy flannel sheets. My house is so quiet and my Dad is downstairs in the living room reading. Its really nice having him here with me.

Here is a pic I took this morning on my phone just before the drain tube was removed. Sorry if this grosses anyone out but this is real. Stitches will be out next week. It might not look that painful from your angle but from mine its excruitating.... all in the name of health!!

PS ~ I'm happy I woke up!
