10/21/2012- not for the sensitive viewer- shower and revelation day...

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.
