Well, as you may have guessed, the highlight of my day today was taking a shower!
Amazing how you don’t think much about taking a shower until you can’t! In any case, it was wonderful. Tomorrow – shaving my legs!
I think I overdid it a bit yesterday (no nap, too much visiting), so I took it easy today, per Tina’s orders. Took a long, 2-hour nap and watched 3 episodes of House of Cards. We did take a walk around the block, and it was nice to get out, but tried not to push it any further. I’m up to 6 hours between pain meds, which leaves me a little less groggy than originally. Thankfully, I’m having no issues with pain, swelling, nausea, going potty (TMI?) or sleeping, so I’m very thankful for that.
We ate some wonderful breakfast casserole, homemade soup, lasagna and egg salad today – what a treat! Thanks to everyone supplying us with food – we’re eating like royalty!
I have “Genetics” appointment call tomorrow, which is likely about taking some tests and maybe my kids taking those tests as well – we’ll see. Hopefully, the results from the lymph node they removed during surgery will be back by the end of the week. Lots of unknowns right now, which can be worrisome, so I ask for your prayers for peace, despite whatever circumstances we face.
Thanks again to everyone for all your love and support – it’s most appreciated!
