Out of Surgrey!

I'm home from surgery. The surgery took about 1 1/2 hours. I was feeling fine up until about 3 hours ago. I guess the anaesthesia has completely worn off now. I am in an incredible amount of pain right now. My surgeon took the donor skin for my breast, from my leg. I feel as though someone stabbed me in the leg. I know the Dr's told me this was going to be painful, but come on! This is beyond painful! The breast area doesn't hurt at all. It's just my leg.

Basically, I have to take it easy for the next week or two. I cannot do any physical activity because that could damage the graft and I would possibly have to go through all this again. So, for right now my work-out plan is put on hold.

Thank you to everyone for all your well wishes. I really appreciate it.

On a side note...Jourdan (my 11 year old) stayed with me at the hospital. He is such a caring kid! Jourdan brought $3.00 for snack money, but instead of buying a snack he went to the gift shop and got me this cute little pick heart. He got the gift wrapped and made me a really nice card. The lady at the gift shop was so impressed she wrapped the gift for free.

Jourdan, I love you so much. Thank you for thinking of me and also taking care of me.
