First post-op appointment

I went to see the plastic surgeon this morning for my first post-op appointment. I came in with high hopes of having my drainage tubes removed and being released from the enormous ace bandage that has been squeezing my rib cage for the last week. Only one of those hopes came true.... small pouty face. Turns out I need a few more days of drainage before he feels comfortable removing the tubes. The plus side is that I am now able to shower like a normal person, HOORAY!!! Instead of the compression wrap I have a fancy sports bra that helps me look less like a frankenstein project. The bruises are extensive and colorful. The shape is far from ideal or balanced but the worst is over. Only forward progress from here :-D
I have another post-op appointment with my other surgeon tomorrow. He'll check the biopsy site and explain more about the results. I will also probably be referred onto a different doctor for future monitoring.
It was wonderful to get out of the house this morning, I even wore jeans and real shoes! Tonight Janessa has a winter music performance that we will all be going to. So I am off to take a real shower followed by a nap so I can enjoy my next outing!
My wonderful angels have been taking such good care of the kids and I. We are all so thankful!!!
