Yay! The drain is out, the brace (now that we know it's a belly brace!) is modified to work properly and help Patti heal in the tummy, and a clean house!
Patti had a follow up doctor visit yesterday (1/31) with her doctor. Everything is looking good from Monday's surgery - yay! The doctor noticed that Patti's brace was over (ahmmm - the girls) and was concerned, as it had some affect on her new.......let's just say....construction. The wrap was way to high and should have been on her belly area, not on the (ahmmm - the girls).
The attached picture of the week is not for the weak! That is what we like to call a "Mark-ism" Those who know Mark... know what I mean:-)
Do the words "OUCH" come to mind? Patti will tell you that she would never elect to do this! Thank goodness it's done!
All is well now, as the doctor modified the brace to ensure it does what it is suppose to do, heal the areas where Patti's fat was taken to reconstruct....(ahmmm - the girls). I'm starting to have fun with that! tee hee!
Patti continues to be in good spirits and is anxious to get back to the new normal. She is still under a heavy restriction with regards to reaching, lifting, etc. With that said, we are doing what we can to help, and ensure she doesn't try to do stuff that tempts her (cleaning, wash, shoveling, etc.)
If you find you have time to visit, Patti would greatly appreciate any offer to help where needed, as she will be incapacitated for a little longer and even the simplest of tasks that we take for granted are not possible for her at this time.
A special shout out to the Davidoski Family for helping with the snow shoveling today. Patti really appreciated it. I think she cried a little....but they were tears of joy, in that she has so many around her who love her and want to help!
Tonight, Patti can rest easy with a clean house, a clean driveway, and let's all pray she ends it with a good nights sleep!
