Day 8 Thursday: 1 week ago I came home from the hospital!

So crazy to think it was 1 week ago I came home from the hospital. This week has gone fast and this week has lasted forever.

This morning Chadly washed my hair and OMG… it’s got to be close to feeling like heaven!!

He also changed my sheets, did a load of laundry, took the kids to the dentist, and Kade for a haircut (goodbye mullet).

Chad even had time to do the dishes and make lunch for Troy, Shannon, Kelty, and Kenly. Love getting together with the Raaps!

It kills me to not be able to help!!!

I re-read through the discharge papers and it says 4-6 weeks before I’m back to normal (lifting, energy, etc.). Dear Jesus!! Well, I guess I’m 1/4 of the way there, right?!?

I’m feeling pretty good today thanks to my sponsors: Tylenol and Motrin

The incision from the lymph nodes removal is annoying yesterday and today!! It’s still numb yet I feel pressure. It helps to have a pillow between my elbow and hip. Thank God it’s on my left said with me being right-hand dominant AND I’m super thankful for this winter cold weather instead of it being summer. It’s easier for me to warm up vs cool off!

So much to be thankful for!!

Attaching a pic of some beautiful flowers from my Transamerica HR Family. While I worked there for 11ish years, I’ve been away for over 3 years, and oh my heart when I saw this gorgeous arrangement was from them. This is a great example of how people will come in and out of your life and that’s a-ok. But some never leave especially when you really need them most

And there’s a pic of me right now nestled in the corner of the couch with a boob protector from Susan Nakata

Virtual hugs and smooches to you all!
