I'm drainless, baby!!!!!

Oh Happy Day!! Got my drains removed today!!! No more baggy shirts, no more pouches and ribbons holding them up, no more showering with a sopping wet robe belt around my neck!! Hooray! I feel so light and free.  Amazing how exciting this is, but seriously, it is super exciting.  I thought they might start the expansions today too, but he said not until next week. Still swollen and sore and wants one more week to get recovered before we begin the process.  Doing pretty well. Pain is pretty tolerable at this point. Just feeling sore and have a lot of pressure from the tissue expanders.  They are NOT comfortable. Kind of feels like I am wearing an underwire bra that is a size too small that I can not take off!!! :(. Sleep is still hard. I feel a lot of pressure when I lie on my sides and even lying on my back, which I hate by the way, I wake up with lots of pressure on my chest.  But overall feel like things are better than I thought they might be. Only two weeks after surgery and I am taking small walks and taking Riley to school and running some errands.  Start physical therapy Thursday to help start some exercises to help get back range of motion in my arms and start building back some strength.  Friends and fam have still been amazing, everyone is still bringing us dinner every night and  I am still amazed at how lucky I am to have such an awesome support team to rely on.   Today is a good day!!
