Showered

So far the revision looks good. Initially it felt like the surgery was done with a hot poker, but that has subsided and I am getting as much rest this weekend as I can stand. The initial firery feeling caused me to receive much Fentanyl in recovery. It upset my stomach on the way home from the hospital and later that night. I am still pushing the fluids to get all the extra drugs purged. 

As part of my mental healing Bill wrapped up my PICC line today as I was approved post surgicially to take a shower.  I told him I just wanted to stand there and drain the hot water tank.  The nurses at the hospital had told us about using this wrap and that it was the best.  Since having the line in it has proved true, and no moisture has gotten to the dressing for the line.  I hope to get it out this coming Wednesday.  I have a check-up with Dr. Marble this Tuesday and expect her to say things are coming along well.
