Settling In

Soooo good to be out of the hospital.  We are fortunate enough to have a great place with a view and to sit and relax and watch the weather last night was nice.

The goal now is to just recovery.  We have an apt today for a blood day and have a bronch on Tuesday.  Beyond that Laura has no other apts.  She does have a number of treatments that she has to do daily that require a few hours.  Couple those treatments with 3 walks a day and her dance card is full.

Last journey Laura had terrible edema that required her to go back in.  Given that we were in the hospital longer this time post op and she seems to be shedding the water weight appropriately we hope there is no secondary visit.  

Some advice for those going through this for the first time, pay attention to how the change the dressings.  The IV3000 tape(?) sticks to itself ALL the time.  It is an art form.  Drainage has been good and with the exception of a once ounce outflow all has been going accordingly.  Oozing is ok.  Don't panic.

Not the best photo to show it but today in between storms there was a rainbow.  Hopefully a sign of more good luck to come.

Tomorrow is a recovery day for Laura.  Walks, treatments and rest.  Hopefully coupled with some good food through out.  

Cheers,
