Several days later

This is just a list of what is currently happening:
Ok, I am definitely tired of wearing the velcro "sports" bra contraption they put me in after surgery. Not that I am going to take it off, but it's starting to really annoy me.

After a bolt of lightening went through the back of my arm last night, I remembered what Dr. Calhoun said about "electric shocks" going down my arm post-surgery. She didn't say how big they would be and that they hurt!

I'm also starting to get achy down the back of my right arm, yet somehow I am also numb. The numbness is weird, because it makes things feel strange and I was worried for a minute that my upper arm is starting to swell up. I don't think that is happening, or if it is, it could be drainage from surgery.

As far as the drain, the fluid is getting less and less and it's turning lighter in color. Almost to the "chardonnay" stage. Dr. Calhoun went over the colors of the fluid in terms of wine. ha! This morning the drainage was under 50 cc for the first time. I am pretty sure it will get down to the magic number of 30 cc before my appointment next week.

My throat is still sore from the breathing tube and I'm still phlegmy at times.

Today will be my first venture out of the house. My niece turns 3 next week and today is her birthday party.

My mom, bless her, is putting in a garden out back. I wasn't going to deal with the garden until next year, but she is determined to plant some veggies! It's been weeded, raked, mostly leveled and the rows are done.
