Still at home, still healing

Hi everyone! Sorry to be so remiss in my posting. Have been struggling with some pain this week. Went in Tuesday for my first "expansion" and they advised me to take one more week at home. I'm happy to say they removed the drains, but the expanders hurt a lot. Especially in strange places like my lats, where you wouldn't think I'd be experiencing pain. Today I woke up and felt even more tight than usual. David said I have a lot of fluid building up (from taking the drains out), and the nurse said that it would hurt until my body reabsorbs it. Great. Still not able to drive or lift above my head. Have been going slowly bat-shit crazy being at home so much, but I have taken a few trips outside the house the past 2 evenings. Without those, I would be seriously a mess. I also had a fab visit with Jenny and her amazingly cute baby, Jacob. Thanks for coming over an entertaining me, Jenny!

Next appointment for my fill-up will be next Tuesday. Hopefully, I will be well enough to drive myself, but we have to see how this weekend goes. They were only able to fill 60 ccs this past visit due to the pain, so maybe I can get more next time. I think they can do 120 ccs or maybe more at a time if I can handle it. I'm planning to go in every week for fill-ups. If it is too painful, I can cut down and go less frequently. Everything is up in the air at this point. Looking forward to this weekend. Happy Mother's Day to everyone celebrating the day!
