Weekend Retreat :) after Surgery

It's me. Janet. Yesterday, my SPA Day, went well though I never did get to finish my movie - too many interruptions! Today I got out of bed around 8:30 and started my Weekend Retreat! Since I couldn't remember the Doctor's discharge instructions, I had to refer to the 3-ring binder they gave me at my pre-op appointment. It contains everything you ever need to know about breast cancer and its treatment. It's pretty cool.  I was most interested in whether or not I could take a shower. By now I  had a really  bad case of bed head and  I needed to do something about it! After some brief discussion, Scott decided I could take a shower and I was happy. 

Today has been a relatively quiet day. Because I opted for a nap when Scott and I  got home yesterday afternoon, it has messed with my sleeping patterns so today I had to take a nap! I spent the afternoon on the couch, visited with  my  neighbor friend, and just did nothing!  

Tonight is family movie night and Andrei's basketball coach dropped off a DVD with some snacks for us! Thank You!!! 

Scott went for take-out food for dinner. McDonalds. Yes I do like their hamburgers and it was really tasty.   Just what the Doctor ordered :)           

I am doing quite well. I have not had to take any pain medication.  I feel a little stiff at times but nothing that an ice pack doesn't take care of. My first official day of recovery has gone well.

Oh....I finally got to finish my Bruce Willis movie - he got the bad guy :)

    Good to hear things are going well. Make sure you make Scott wait on you hand and foot. ;-)

    Thanks so much for the update! I was busy with family fun all day and just sat down to check in. Happy to hear you're recovering nicely. I like McD's hamburgers too - with cheese! Not sure what movies you enjoy watching, but... have you seen "Hancock"? It's a Will Smith movie. We rented the DVD not long ago. It was pretty good.

    I hope you had a great day today!
