She called me on her way home which was about 3:30 today.  I went home after work to visit her.  She is sitting comfortably in the chair.  The only problem is she can’t do anything.  And I mean nothing.  I think the hardest thing for her is to sit there all day for the next 6 weeks.

I wanted to give everyone a little more info since she can’t get on the computer.

1.  She can get up and walk but she can’t stand up-right.  She walks bent over with a pillow on her stomach for support.

2.  She  got 1 of the 4 drains removed.  The 3 remaining were replaced with smaller bags so it isn’t so much to carry around.   She has a string around her neck that holds the drains up.

3.  She has to keep her feet up when she is sitting down.  So she needs to sit in the recliner.  The problem is she can’t really get out of the recliner by herself.

4.  She has to sleep in the recliner because she can’t lay flat.  Laying flat will pull on her stomach and all the stitches.  So she will have to get use to sleeping in the recliner for a couple of weeks.

I will not comment on the new breasts.  I will wait until she can use a computer to type about those.  There is something about talking about your moms breasts that is just strange.  I have been asked many times by people.

It seems that with this surgery that her spirits are higher.  I think it’s because this is like the final piece of the puzzle.  She is getting back what cancer took from her.  I’m happy with how well she is doing.  Thanks to everyone for your support through this whole thing.  I’ll post when I get some new information.
