I'm home!

In some pain, but fairly well medicated. Hubby put a headboard on the bed so I could use a pillow chair(very comfy), and I'll doing a lot of resting. Part of me doesn't get why I'm so tired; after all, I'm not the one who did all the work of removing a breast; I just laid there! However, the rational part of me is aware that losing a body part is a trauma that my body has to recover from.

I'll catch up on email, etc. gradually -- I'm posting this note before checking anything. I managed not to react to tape this time, which is a really good thing considering the amount of Tegaderm(TM) that I had on me. I've looked in the mirror with no clothes on, and it does look odd. However, it still looks like me in the mirror. My belly looks pretty big with no breast above it. I'd prefer not to go through that again any time soon, though. It was hard on the whole family. Everyone is starting to relax again, finally, from the stress. The whole family, with the exception of the kiddo, is utterly exhausted.

The kiddo, though, developed a back and neck spasm yesterday, though. Ask me where I think she puts her stress. She'll be needing Physical Therapy; her father will set up some appointments this afternoon.
