Pretty day for a car ride

Today I decided to get out of the cozy PJs put on makeup and go for a car ride!

Since it wasn't bitter cold like the past couple of days I decided today was the day. 

1.  A couple of things I want to share for those who are taking this journey:

After you have mastectomy either single or double, your balance might not be the same as it was before surgery. After all with the change in shape of your chest your center of gravity as you have known it may change. 

2.  If you have experienced dizziness post anesthesia you might have to move a little slower than pre surgery

Yesterday upon waking up after sleeping in my bed for the first time, I woke up feeling not rested but ok considering. So as I decided to get up I swung my body up without using my arms. I happened to forget that my bed is a little tall and I get a little dizzy when sitting up. As I slid out of bed I managed to

not walk but stumble straight to the ground landing on my knee and whacking my left cheek right on the doorframe to the bathroom

Poor Abi woke immediately and was terrified that I was hurt. Fortunately God picked me right up and sat me into the chair. I gathered my composure while assuring Abi that I was fine and not hurt, all the while checking to make sure I hadn't pulled a drain out or damaged any of my surgical area. Thank you Jesus for no damage or injury. 

Needless to say no black eye just just a small bruised knee and everything else ok. The take away on this is that although you feel "well" you must take it slow and know that you are somewhat limited on what you should/can do even when your mind thinks you can do something. 

Recovery continues to go well and progress in the wound healing direction. Next up:  follow up appointment with plastic surgeon Monday morning and hoping for drain removal. Closer by the day. 

I hope each of you have a blessed weekend and enjoy life.

Much  Love,

Sherry
