It's A New Day:surgery update

Well, here I am resting comfortably at home.  I had a wonderful visit with Laureen, Lisa and Adam last night.  Lisa - you found a keeper!!!!!!

This morning I actually felt a little hungry so I made myself breakfast and then took a fabulous shower cleaning the drain wounds, changing the gauze and trying to keep my cat from letting his curiosity get the best of him.  Somehow he does not understand that the long tube hanging from the 4 pumps are not his playtoys,  My goal today is to try to eat and drink more and start my vitamins again.  I am taking tylenol and that's it.  Yes, it does hurt when I move but I know eventually I will love the results.  I took a good look today and was amazed.  Even with the stitches and some swelling I can see the difference.

Thank you all for your thoughts and support.  You are all wonderful and I'm so glad that I am part of this amazing group.

Thanks for the update, Arlene.  Wow....able to move around enough to be getting in the shower already, that's awesome!  You sound like you are doing so well, and that's GREAT!!  I can only imagine the cats and the tubes....oh my....I have two cats, so I can totally understand!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.

Congrats again and welcome home!!!!!  The cats are glad you're home!  I can't even believe you're up and about so quickly!  Take it slowly and take care of yourself.  Glad you're posting!

Sounds like you are doing great!  Take good care of yourself and you can always send the cat over here for awhile...I know my dogs would love having a play mate LOL
