Drains are out! Woo Hoo!

NEVER underestimate the power of a SHOWER to make you feel like a million bucks! I had my first shower today since the morning of surgery on the 23rd.... wow - it felt SO... good it lasted nearly an hour! I had images of those women in Africa who walk miles with barrels of water on their heads...... but I just couldn't help myself! Getting the drains out yesterday was so...... great - made me feel human again, and I don't look like I'm wired to blow up a bus staion up! Still trying to be patient with the swelling so I can see what my "shape" will wind up looking like! Crystal

Doesnt it feel great????? I had surgery 1-23-06 and I almost forgot the feeling of getting the drains out. Congratulations on comming this far. Believe me, this year will go fast. Cathy

Hi Cathy! That was my surgery date too! What hospital were you in? What did you have done? I think I must have missed something to not know you were having surgery. Is everything okay? How are YOU feeling?

Congrat!!!!!!!!!! Crystal , Im sure you do feel like a millon bucks, cant wait to see you in a few weeks. You take care. Keep us updated.

Crystal, congrats on getting your drains out. Omgosh I can't even imaging not being able to shower that long. I had mine one day after you but had no drains. I got to shower on the day I went home. I bet you are feeling awesome!!! Anna Oh ps your date shows this. RNY (04/08/2005)
