Where do I begin???? Tommie took me to see Linda at Dr. Palladino's office today to have the drain removed. The drainage was down to 20 cc's so they told me to come on in. So, we get there and they remove the drain and then Dr. Palladino pops her head in the door and says "I want this to be the one time that you come into my office with a smile and leave with a smile." This made me happy!
So, here's all the good news (yes, so much so that I have to do a bulleted list!!!)
1. I can shower in 24 hours! Yay!
2. I can drive!
3. I have dissolving stitches under my arm, so no sutures need to be removed!
4. I have 'glue' over the entry areas for the VAD port and that will also dissolve on it's own!
5. I can go back to work!!!
6. I do not need to see Dr. Palladino again until the VAD port needs to be removed after my chemo treatments!!!
I am have 'perma-grin' right now!!!
My continued thanks to all of you for your love and support!!! Doris
