Last night with the girls was pretty miraculous! I participated in the normal bedtime routine, which lately consists of bath, bingo, go fish, short show and snack, use the potty, brush and floss the teeth. Then I hugged and kissed them, said good night, and my Mom got in to bed with them to read them a book and stays with them until they fall asleep. There was no screaming. No hard crying. I was so relieved. So far, the same holds true for tonight. I miss snuggling with them, but I am so worn out that I am happy to be able to go to bed without my heart hurting, too. I am so proud of them for adapting and so grateful for my Mom and David taking over.
Today I went in for my first post-op visits with both my plastic surgeon and with my breast surgeon. They were both very pleased with how everything looks and my plastic surgeon took my drains out. Woo Hoo!!! Everyone was right, I feel so much better without those things poking into and out of me. I can sleep on my side again! Tomorrow I get to shower!
My pain is ever decreasing. I have added ibuprofen and am decreasing the percocet. I am going to try just ibuprofen during the day and percocet and muscle relaxer at night. I can always increase again if I need to, but my brain feels slightly outside of my head when I am on the percocet. I don't care for that effect anymore. And my gut is inflating from all the poop that is storing up in there. Nice, I know.
I wish the itching would stop.
Most importantly, my pathology came back normal! Nothing abnormal, nothing scary. This was when some tears came, today. Relief. Gratitude.
