Keeping up with the Schober's

I've been a busy girl!  I'll get through the yucky part first.  Because I was still producing so much fluid after the drains came out, I had to have the excess pocket (what looked like a nasty fat roll/side boob) drained, which at the time didn't hurt much, but about an hour after killed!  That was Thursday, and I've noticed that it's been filling up again, which means another possible drain at my appointment on Monday.  Dumb.

Yesterday I met with a physical therapist who showed me exercises I can do at home 2-4 times/day to regain the range in motion I've lost since the surgery.  I did it once first thing this morning (before taking any of my pain meds) and wow, it hurt.  Bad.  Showering after was not fun and took WAY longer than it needed to.  Once the drugs kicked in I felt much better and went shopping with my two sisters for some new dresses (the tube top swim suit cover-ups need to go) and after painful try-ons, came out with a few scores!

When I got home I did the PT exercises again and did much better; not so much pain, a little further in the stretches.  It feels so good to be doing SOME sort of exercise again; I know I'm burning maybe 15-20 calories while doing the stretches, but anything is better than nothing at this point.

I'm awaiting the arrival of Jason's parents - Todd and Barb - at the moment.  They're the best in-laws a gal could've hoped for (and I'm not just saying that for brownie points either).  I'm so excited to see them, but at the same time a little nervous.  When they're here, we like to show them the town and check out local events.  Usually our outings involve way too much eating and drinking (something I've not done while on all these pain meds) and are go go go non-stop.  I hope I can keep up with them!
