ok, so I guess I'm setting the mark pretty high for recovery from mastectomy surgery. And I promise I'm not heavily medicated! This is the real deal. I'm just doing as much as I feel up to doing .... and I've felt pretty darn good today!
I was up by six this morning. Slept pretty well last night. I've got the four drains with bulbs attached, so I can't exactly lay on my side or roll over as I'd like, but apparently I was comfortable enough to sleep most of the night. We had a quiet morning at home, I fixed biscuits for breakfast and cleaned myself up a bit to go to town later. I decided last night, to master the task of emptying the drain bulbs myself and I've done pretty well with that. Mother has stripped the lines as necessary to keep them flowing the way they need to.
Not having washed my hair for several days, I was really wanting to get that done and my mom wanted her toes polished :) I needed to run by the bank, so we left for our errands around 11. Went through the bank drive thru and then to the Regency salon in Champaign. After an hour there, we had fresh hair and fresh toes & were good to go. We then went to the mall and had a good lunch at Panda Express. I sat in the food court while Mother went into Macy's for a pair of slacks. From there we headed to Hobby Lobby, to pick up a picture frame that Brittany had requested. We dropped that off where Britt works (watching the kids - her last day) and then headed home. My dad came by this afternoon and shortly after that I had a flower delivery - very nice! Jordan (jeremiah's girlfriend) and her mom came by later and we had a very nice visit with them!
Jeremiah had asked we come over this evening when he was on break .... so we went to Farmer City and had dinner at Quizno's. For some reason we thought we needed dessert and went from there to Vito's for ice cream before heading home!
Mother goes home tomorrow and I will rest. I promise.
Well ... actually jeremiah will help me do laundry but we're not telling anyone (shhhh.... )

I'm so glad things went well. I knew you were strong and had great support, which is the best medicine of all. With such an optomistic outlook on life, things can only get better. Take care and don't get too frisky! Will be thinking of you. :)
Hi Stephanie,
Somehow I knew you'd come out on the otherside of this with a bright sunny disposition. I've never seen you not. Take care and get rest. Sorry I'm not there to hug you. You are in my thoughts. Sending sunshine your way--joke joke--we've had nothing but rain, threats of rain and more threats of rain for weeks and weeks! Love Cuz Sharon
