August 19th - First off I'd like to wish my little brother Dave, Happy 44th Birthday!
Update on the drain removal - I was able to get two of the drains out on Monday (8/13) and the remaining one out on Friday (8/17). What a relief that is, for me and for Don (no more cleaning the drains!). I continue to work on my exercises to be able to get my arms up over my head. It's slow going but I'm making some progress. I have a couple appointments at Mayo on Wednesday this coming week. A post-op visit with the plastic surgeon and an appointment in the Lymphedema Clinic. Hopefully all goes well. I'm feeling a bit better each day!
Today Don and I decided on taking a road trip to get out of the house for awhile - we drove to Winona and up the Wisconsin side to Stillwater. After some walking around, we then enjoyed some bar-b-que at a place called Smalley's...yum, yum! Thanks Bill for recommending this place. Stillwater was busy with people and alot of boats on the St. Croix river. It was a beautiful, relaxing day and we enjoyed the sights along with spending some quality time with my hubby which is always a great thing. I love him so much!
Hi Kathy, glad to hear things are on the up and up! I think about you a lot and keep up on your blog. I saw your sister Mary at Tony's wedding and bombarded her with questions on how you were doing after the surgery. Keep on that positive road ahead :)
