Staples Out....

Hi All,
It's been 10 days now since surgery and today I had 64 staples taken out. It looks great, a few rough spots which we're dealing with , otherwise all is well, healing nicely. The drain removal was achy but it's over and the body will mend. No more tubes and needles. Yeh! Was able to give myself a nice warm sponge wash without fearing I'd pull out a hose here and there. It was good to finally see what had been transpiring with my body. The spot where my belly button was removed is still stitched, a bit achy and sensitive. Always was a sore spot.
Anyways I continue to be careful in all my movements try and eat sensible, however pizza yesterday (friends dropped in for a short visit) did play havoc today.
Al's making a wonderful cabbage, cauliflower soup which will help eliminate some the gas which continues to remain from surgery. Eventually this too shall pass and I won't be so ballooned up.
For now he's keeping busy preparing more trivets for our shows, cooking etc. I may tackle small items (cards) later. Plenty of time!
Wish you all a great weekend! Hope all is going well?
Take care,
Love Birgie
