My last drain came out Thursday!!! It feels so good to have those all out!! A referral was put in for me to start physical therapy again. I’m guessing I’ll get a call sometime this coming week to get back on the schedule. When you don’t use it you loose it. I can feel it under my arms when I do the stretches from my discharge papers. (And that’s just moving my arms up the wall 🤣)
It’s hard to believe that we’ve been home for a week already. The older I get the faster I think the time goes! We’re all doing good. I get around better each day. I try to go for a couple one mile walks a day. I still find myself taking naps daily.. sometimes more than one a day. haha. Mom’s been here since Monday which has been nice. She’s been busy with the never ending cycle of dishes and laundry. 🤣
My hair. When I don’t put anything in it… It reminds me of a q-tip… 🤣 🤷🏼♀️
Saturdays the kids get coffee. They want it every day but mom says no. Yesterday they wanted their coffee iced. 🤪🤣🙂
Took my last Gabapentin at 12am. This particular medication is supposed to help with nerve pain. They said I may want a refill so we’ll see. It wasn’t until I finished the bottle that I noticed the warning… I just assumed the tiredness and lightheadedness was from the anesthesia… And maybe it is. We’ll see if it gets better now that I’m not taking this anymore.
Today was kind of a big day for Aaron. It had been in the making for awhile, but with all my cancer stuff it got postponed. He was ordained as an elder in our church. I couldn’t be more proud of him. I’m so thankful I get to do life with him by my side!
Love this, and love you all. You and your family are a blessing in so many ways….
Thanks for the update Cassie, it sounds like you are recovering well. Congratulations on getting the last drain out and to Aaron on being ordained! I think the naps are as important as the mile walks (impressive!)–your body needs that rest to heal. I have a feeling that you’re going to feel even better now that you (hopefully) don’t need the Gabapentin anymore. Great photos, it looks like everyone is happy to be sort of back to normal–even Tucker! Your hair is really growing–just in time to keep your head warm this winter! Good luck this week now that your mom is gone. Much love and many prayers.
Thank you!
Hi Cassie
Sorry I have been so slow in sending you a note. We have been praying for you and pray you will continue to heal and feel better!
Our lives have been hectic the last month or more. Matthew told us a house right next to him was up for sale. The kids have wanted us to move closer to them for a while as Don is not getting better and I need help with him sometimes. God’s hand was in so many things in the whole deal! It has truly been a blessing and miracle!
We sold our home and bought a home- took a few trips to Illionis – packed up everything in a very short time -less then a month.
now we are very tired but very thankful for all God has provided for us!
As you know our God is a faithful and loving Father!
So happy for you to be home with family – love you Cassie!
Mary and Don
Thank you!! It’s good to be home.
Wow, you guys have been busy! I’m glad everything with your move went smoothly!
