2 Days Post Surgery

Well it is now two days post surgery and I am moving around albeit slowly and with the help of drugs. I have managed to come downstairs (from bed) to eat small meals but do find myself sleeping a lot. I have slept pretty well at night and the pain medication has been great for that. Today I took a shower and Mark removed my bandages for the first time. It was frightening to see my chest, but it helped that my husband kept saying over and over how much he loves me. I still have two huge drains attached in my chest. They will be removed in the next few weeks. I really hope next week, but it will depend upon how quickly I heal. Everyday I get stronger which is a good thing.

I want to thank everyone for all their kinds thoughts, prayers, cards, flowers, gifts and phone calls. Wow, I feel very loved. I hope to get thank you notes written next week.
