Post op Day 6’nn
Hello everyone! First I would like to to say praise God as day by day I’m making progress to the top of the hill. After a few grueling days with pain control and low blood pressure and elevated heart rate concerns, things have stabilized . I was discharged home on Saturday afternoon. It’s great to be home in my own bed . I had a great day yesterday and the big win was being able to take a relaxing shower !! Daily wash 🧼 off‘’s are for the birds‼️ I was able to sit up for a couple of hours, watched a little football, got a little walking in with my in home physical therapist’s-aka-Hunby)and took a 4 hour nap with no disruptions. I will be honest this reconstructive surgery called a Lumbar Artery Perforator (LAP) flap has been a little tougher recovery than my bilateral mastectomy mostly because I used my own tissue versus implants….I have incisions across the entire length of my lower back, a smaller incision in my right lower abdomen and of course incisions on my bilateral breast. My recovery period this far has not been easy but I know with God’s healing power it will be so worth it.
Thanks to all my friends and family ( you know who you are that have reached out by text, phone calls, or hospital visits) and the exceptional care I received from the entire medical team at UT-Southwestern. That in itself .. means more to me and my recovery than words can express!!! Special thanks for my wonder husband, son, and Mom for always being by my side no matter what!!! Thanks you Jesus for continuing to show up and show out throughout my journey.
