Free at last!

I had my drain tubes taken out yesterday and I cannot express how free I feel!  If I ever have to have drain bags again I do believe that I will consider keeping them in forever.  OMG!  Hurt! The little nurse that took them out was telling us that when she was new, she had to take out a drain tube from a man that had thyroid surgery and she had to run out of the office to get the dr. to help her.......needless to say, I gasped and quickly thanked God that mine were in my side and not my throat...that prayer was followed quickly with 'help this not to hurt'!  Maybe they didn't hurt as much as they could have so my prayer was answered :)
We are going to Lewistown this afternoon and we get to see our other two grand babies (and Summer and Dana of course). I am also squeezing in visits from some other friends in Lewistown.
I think that I start physical therapy for my left arm next week and maybe get to mow my lawn as well.  So happy to be a little more independent.  I forgot to ask if I can drive.  The minute the clock strikes 8 this morning, I am calling nurse Laurie. 
Oh yes, I almost for got to tell you that on Wednesday I went to my Feel Good Look Better make over at Sletten cancer Institute.  It is offered free of charge to all cancer patients (women) and it was fun.  Companies donate makeup to the cancer society and everything is free.  I got a bag full of makeup ranging from Avon to Shesheido, Clinique, Mary Kay, Bobby Brown, Aveda, and others that I can't remember.  I gave it all away because I sell makeup so ...but the experience was fun.
Very nice that lots of companies take part in this program.  
Prayerfully my drain sites won't leak today like they did yesterday while I was helping Mark with a project....yuck. Hard to look cute when you have seepage coming out of your back and right breast area ;) HA!
