to be rewritten and updated... draft in progress
I will be updating, but for now, this is how I am at home until they remove these drains (hopefully Wednesday). I have to drain each tube a few times each day and keep track of the amounts coming out. I was so stinky by now, I needed to shower, but did not feel comfortable enough washing my own hair. Mom will not be happy we posted a pic with curlers in her hair, but oh well-- I got tubes coming out me- lol! Sorry Mom, I love you! Cool part is Mom is wearing her mad ninja skills shirt :) We had Derek take pictures while Naomi and Mom washed my hair as I sat outside the bath tub. Then I went and Naomi combed and clipped my hair up as I went and showered my body finally with soap and water and after lotion! Today is the first day I see myself. I can't post all pictures, but here's a few before my first shower. The main incisions are from my nipple toward my armpit. That surgical bra was TIGHT! I use a shoelace around my neck to keep the drains from hanging on the floor or getting pulled out from me (GROSS! Hurts just thinking about it). I'll update this blog later- right now I have a bad headache and actually feel like throwing up so I'm calling it a night. The last few blogs will be happy blog with pictures of everyone's beautiful flowers and gifts. If I didn't thank you yet, please give me some time. I appreciate it all and will get back to you as soon as I can.
