Interesting Day
Baby & I started our day with a .4-mile walk in the warm sunshine. It felt super good to get out. Being sweaty with steri-strips felt a bit weird, but I was happy to be out. Then I took a light weighted broom and did my post op arm exercises, along with some squats & lunges. To top off our morning, Baby & I sat in the sun, drinking sweet tea. Today felt so good.
Shower time! I was getting prepared and remembered one last thing from downstairs. To make this long story shorter, I fell down four stairs. My right arm (the one with the axillary dissection) went straight out (I guess to catch myself) and it bent behind me. I won't say how long I cried, or get into how hysterical I got, but I did.
I called the doctor while Steve was rushing home from work. Then he was able to put me to bed with a double dose of drugs, & a heating pad.
Hours later now, I feel a bit better, but like I've been knocked on my ass. I also feel like the wind was knocked outta my sails.
Tomorrow, I'm getting up earlier, and walking further. Today, is not gonna keep me down.
