Hi everyone,
I made it through my lypectomy. Wasn't so sure about that when I woke up in recovery. I was on the table for 4 hours and came to feeling like a magician had sawed me in half with a dull blade. But here I am...home and "relatively comfortable" as long as I don't try to sit, stand, or lie down--and forget about bending over! I'm wrapped up like a burrito from just under my boobs to above the knees.
Funny surprise...I knew they might put in a drain, but drains have changed since I went to nursing school in the early 80's. I expected to see the wide wick. Instead I saw two dangling 3 inch oval plastic sacs with a thin plastic tubing trickling blood into them. I had to ask if I had the right operation! LOL.
Okay, that's all for today. I still need to take it easy. That means hubby gets to do the housework for a while. (grin)

Hope you have a speedy recovery.
Thanks so much, Amber. I'm seeing a little progress already.

Feel beter Ash. Let everyone else do the work.
Sending healing light your way. So, when are we going shopping?
Ah, shopping! I can't wait. Where shall we go? Maybe the Talbot's outlet in Woburn?
I bought one nice pair of jeans a size smaller. But will need to see what fits as soon as I heal. Then go through my closet. It needs weeding anyway.
