All in all today was about a 5

Yesterday was a 4 maybe. Parts of today bit the big wazoo but I am keeping the attitude that each day will at least be as good as the one before and each hour that passes is one more hour of healing and one more hour closer to getting back to the me I remember. Mental attitude has to come into play with some of this I would think. I have had no swelly belly at all....none, zero, zip. In fact DH and MIL were amazed at how flat I am. Hopefully this will continue. I'm sure there were be down times and I'll come back and reread this post and remind myself.....one step at a time.

Princesses. Hope you all are recovering well, resting well, and being loved and cared for by those around you as you would care for them.
