It's Monday, and I am still bandaged tight as straight jacket. Can't wait until tomorrow when the dr. takes off the bandages. I must say, I've got the best dr., he takes my calls (returns them in minutes) allays my fears, and addresses my concerns with professionalism and care. My latest concerns have to do with feeling my food go down and the knot half way down my chest because the bandages are so tight. dr. assures me that the bandaging will reduce the incidents of swelling, so I decide to hang in there. he gives me permission to remove the sport bra but leave the bandages undisturbed. I confess that I have extra sports bras, so he encourages me to replace the one he put on me in the operating room, admittedly that it was smaller than my frame size, so the change did bring a modicum of relief.
I've cut back on the meds, not the antibiotics or my regular blood pressure meds, but the heavy narcotic pain meds. They make me so groggy and nauseated I forgo the pain relief as it is becoming more tolerable. This is being a responsible patient, not a martyr!
Memory of the day: Wish I could take a shower and wash my hair! Some of the small pleasures in life, ah!!!
