So, I DIDN'T get my second drain out, yesterday. I did get lots of gauze pads and tape to help deal with the leaking, but I'll have my little companion for at least another week. The surgeon assured me that this is totally normal for some people. Ok, so I'm sort of normal - shocker to all of you, huh!?
The nice part? I feel comfortable, again, going and doing because I'm loaded up with padding. So, llast night, 3 of my 4 wonderful daughters treated me to a girls' night out! We missed you Ashley, wish you didn't have to work nights! Anyway, we went to Zupa's for dinner and then went and saw Water for Elephants. Very nice chick flick. Thank you girls for a wonderful night out!
Today I had my echocardiogram. Guess what - my heart is working!! :) Some of the medicine in the chemo treatment has the remote possibility of damaging my heart. They do the echo to see how well my heart muscles are working now and then, apparently, I will have more echos throughout treatment to keep tabs on it.
For those of you who haven't ever had an echo - it is an ultrasound of your heart.
I don't know what it is like where some of you are, but spring has finally arrived in Utah. It is beautiful outside. I plan to take a short walk here in a few minutes!
