So I was pretty excited to be able to take a shower finally. Scott had installed a new handheld shower and there are built in seats in the shower. Sounds pretty easy and straightforward, right?!?
So we decide to empty the drains first and take the corset off. I start to feel a little nausea coming on, but try to ignore it. When I see the full surgery site in the mirror for the first time, wow. I guess it was a little overwhelming for me. More than I realized it would be. I make my way to the shower finally, and step in. Right then I realize I need to lay back down. Not good timing. So, I make my way back to the bed, with Scott's help of course, and get the corset back on. This whole incident was pretty upsetting to me. Everything's been going so well, so it was a bit hard to have this minor setback. And most of it all in my head!
So today, my big accomplishment will be the completion of my shower!
Wish me luck!
On a good note, the drains are looking better and collecting less fluid. Really hoping those will come out tomorrow!
The pain isn't too terrible either.
Happy Sunday, everyone!
