Today, I got two drains out. Still two more to go. But at least the ones I said adios to today were the more annoying ones. I can almost put my arms all the way down again! (Minus a little swelling).
I don’t even know how to describe how HARD this past week and some change has been.
And YET? I KNOW it would have been SO MUCH WORSE had I chose to just wait it out. There might even be some of you reading this thinking to yourselves *hell yah it would have*..
Most of my pain is coming from the near continuous muscle spasms in my chest. THOSE SUCK. Like someone is trying to squeeze the life out of me…
So far I have had two home nurse visits, and we gather I will only need two more.
Other than the pain and muscle spasms, everything is healing as expected, and soon I can start the fill process.. and while it seems slow as shit right now, I know that new pair of lady lumps will be here before I know it.
It has been extremely hard for me to not jump into action to take care of things around the house, or for people who otherwise depend on me. Even harder accepting help for myself. I loathe that feeling of being dependent on someone else for my own basic care.
