Surgery Week Two



I was lucky that the doctor didn't saw off my bakelite bracelets that I've worn for over 20 years. Some of them are really old. Instead, they were lovingly cleaned and sanitized. The dogs have spent the past two weeks, trying to encourage me to heal. Percy, in particular, has been constantly by my side, even skipping meals, at times. Last night, I slept on my side. After having the wound pump removed, and the sutures removed, it feels like I can rest on my left side. So many people have helped me, and have brought food and flowers. It has been lovely.

This morning, I took a shower while standing up. That was a major victory. Hoping for more of these small triumphs next week, as well...
