Getting better everyday. Last week I got the last two drains taken out. Hallelujah! I didn't realize that those drains were a source of a lot of my abdominal discomfort. I have a lot more freedom to move.
This week my goal is to walk at least a mile a day (divided into two walks.) My main struggle now is with stiffness and lack of mobility. My arms just aren't working well yet! Walking definitely seems to helping with the stiffness. This Friday, I am meeting with Dr. Brandt to go over my surgery and to see how I'm healing. I have lots of questions! The good thing is that he will be giving me a set of exercises to strengthen my dead chest and arm muscles. I can't wait!
A great thing is that I am starting to drive again! Yeah! It wears me out, but it feels great to have some freedom.
Please pray for my healing. At times, I get down because of my mobility problems and spot numbness (I have lost feeling on my the back of my right elbow and arm.) I know I will heal in time, but I am just so stubborn, I want it all now. (See you always have something God needs to work on! :) - AB
