Feeling pretty good!

I’m surprised that I’m feeling pretty good today, all things considered! 😀

I was able to sleep fairly well last night. I slept sitting up for a while and then was able to get comfortable on my side with the help of a few extra pillows.

Today I’ve been keeping up with the pain meds and so the pain isn’t too bad! Under my arm hurts the most, where they took the 2 lymph nodes. Interestingly the area where they took the tumors out doesn’t hurt as bad.

I’ve been icing the whole area on and off as they recommended, and that helps a lot with the pain.

My parents and Eric are taking care of the kids so I’ve been able to rest. 😊

The hardest part is that I can’t pick up or carry anything over 5 pounds, so I can’t pick up Ellie for 2 weeks. Which I almost forgot this morning when I was half asleep and was going to go pick her up out of the crib. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Luckily Eric reminded me haha. (Good sign though if I’m feeling decent enough to even think about picking her up!)

Starting tomorrow I have some light stretches I need to do for my arm. Because they took the 2 lymph nodes out it’s a little stiff and I’m afraid to move it too much at the moment. The stretches should help.

Other than that I plan on taking it easy for the next week or so. 😊
