Today was my first trip out of the house. It's winter in Chicago, and I was praying it would not be icy or slick. I carried my bear with me and my husband dropped me off in front of the doctor's office and parked the car. I felt really good being able to walk inside and go the longer distance to the doctor's office.
I did feel a little tired by the time I got there. But it felt good.
The nurse practitioner saw me. I guess I don't see the actual doctor anymore. She checked the incisions and said they looked great. But she saw a piece of suture left in one of the drain wounds and pulled that out with tweezers. Gross.
She said it will take a couple of months but it looked good and was healing up.
I don't need to come back and see the surgical team anymore, but she said to reach out with any questions.
I went home in time to take an afternoon meeting for work! And then I took a nap.
