Day 3

I am at home and doing surprisingly well.  I am able to move around on my own as long as I take it slow.  The Novocain line has run out, so I am very sore and very stiff.  My ab muscles are sore because I can't use my arms to lift myself out of bed...maybe I will get that 6 pack I have always dreamed of...lol!!  On the other hand, I can lift both arms above my head...something everyone said I wouldn't be able to do for several weeks...guess I am just a tough girl. I only have 2 drainage tubes...which got in the way until I did some research.  I am wearing a "fanny pack" around (something I said I would never wear) and I zip the tubes right in so they don't hang and get in the way.  Oh...I am so very attractive now let me tell you.  My hair has decided to start growing all of a sudden this week.  I have some serious peach fuzz especially on the sides and in the back.  It seems to be coming in  dark.

I go back Monday morning for the "big reveal."  She will remove my bandages and I will be able to see my war scars for the first time.  So far...having no boobies has not freaked me out at all.  Some say it would...but I am ok with it so far.  My oncologist should be calling me sometime today to discuss my pathology report.  I will post when I get the good news!!
