Listen to your body! You're tired because you went through a lot. Rest when you need to. We don't give the need for rest enough attention.

Thank you so much for your kind reply! I will continue to rest.

I am healing very quickly now. Much less pain now that it’s four days after surgery, and my JP drain output is low enough the drains could be eligible for taking out now instead of at next week’s post op. But I will wait for the doctor to remove them. The fluid is also much lighter now and mostly clear fluid.

I was able to shower and wash my hair this morning (very carefully and with help) and boy did that feel great.

Thank you again.
