I will not be allowed to drive for 3 weeks. I might have a drain coming out of my breast, but it’s a big might. Most likely not. Not allowed to lift more than 5 pounds (if not less) for 6 weeks, and no repetitive movements with both arms. This includes dishes, laundry, vacuuming, etc. 6 weeks sounds like a long time of course, but it wasn’t long enough after the other surgeries I had, so even though they are saying 6 weeks… most likely I will wait MUCH longer than that. Which will suck, but it needs to be done. I have to be SURE this procedure heals really well.
This will be the LAST attempt to fix my breast…. the last. I am very hopeful that this new surgeon will be able to get this taken care of but if not, well, there won’t be anything I can do about it. I am going to pray that his solution works, and if it’s doesn’t, I am just gonna hope that it doesn’t look worse! LOL
I am thankful that James can take a few days off after my surgery, and then the kids have Spring Break after that. It will be helpful in my recovery. However, it would be even more helpful if there was a live in nurse! LOL I could for sure use some help with getting groceries, picking up and taking the kids places, and basic household cleaning. But hey, we will get by. We have done it before right?
Anyway… that is the update. Surgery is March 29th. I will update you further as time gets closer.
P.S. If you don’t know why I am having surgery…. here is a link to that post.
