When Charlotte gets excited about something she's done, she yells out "I did it!" and then does a little dance and claps for herself. She does this for everything - from coloring on a piece of paper, to peeing in the potty. It always makes me laugh and I love how she feels such pride in her accomplishments.
Well yesterday, I felt like yelling out "I DID IT!" and doing a dance when Dr. Griffin removed my last drain. I realize it's not a huge accomplishment for most, but for me it was. This process so far has forced me to face things that normally make me uneasy and grossed out. When I decided to go for the doublay, I didn't know about the drains. And to be honest, when I found out about them, I did second guess my decision. But I knew all along that I couldn't change my mind because of a few drains. It was something I was going to have to get over.
And I DID IT!!
Yesterday's appointment with Dr. Griffin may have been my favorite so far. He again confirmed that everything is looking great and healing perfectly. He also gave me the go ahead to peel off all of the glue! So now I look much better, which makes me feel much better too!
He gave me a referral for physical therapy, and my first appointment is Monday. Hopefully that will help me start using my arm again soon, which would mean finally being able to lift my girls again!!
Monday is going to be a big day between meeting with Dr. Weller in the morning about radiation, and physical therapy in the afternoon. It should sufficiently wipe me out for a few days! And I can't wait!!
