Day after surgery

November 10, 2010
Mom went home about noon today. She didn't get any sleep last night....just couldn't sleep. She hasn't been in too much pain but things are still pretty sore. PT came in to show her the exercises she will need to do and gave her a whole list of dos and don'ts that she will have to follow for the rest of her life. Missing those axillary lymph nodes will cause you to change a lot of things in your life---no shots in that arm, no repetitive motions like painting, has to wear thick gloves when she gardens, and to be careful not to cause any kind of trauma to that arm because the infection won't drain away as fast. Who knew???? BUT, if that's the worst she has to deal with, then it will be a blessing. And small compared to other things. I talked to Dad later this evening and he said she had taken a good nap and she is enjoying her two youngest grand babies...what a blessing they are....Delaney with her big beautiful blue eyes and "yep" to everything and Cooper who is quiet and very polite. So good to have them home!! Best medicine in the world right now! Take Care and God Bless!
