Double mastectomy day 2
July 29, 2022
At home today, I finally took a shower and it felt less comfortable and more difficult than I imagined but I suppose it will get better as we figure out how to manage my drains in the future. Charles had to wash my hair and gently dry me off. I finally understand why my kids hate letting us have that much control over them. Note to self: teach kids how to shower themselves. Everything right now is a wrinkled mass of bruised skin with wires and tubes sticking out. I don’t care too much about all that. I do hope to be able to hug my kids again soon. The kids feelings seem to change from being upset I am hurting to forgetting and bouncing around like crazy animals.
I posted another video journal and find it easier to talk to the camera than write at the moment. I don’t think many people are following me but if it helps one person, it’s worth the effort.
