Drains out and move done!

Big day.  Move finished - moving guys came at 9 AM and finished 3 hours later....and remarkably contrary to weather forecasts, NO snow fell during their work!  I practically hid in a closet during the process, as I have a phobia of moving and hanging pictures (no kidding) and with my inability to lift more than 5 lbx. I was pretty useless anyway.  Mom and Dad did last minute handiwork to breakdown furniture into pieces and I was so relieved when we closed the door.  A couple more days until possession and then that big item is off the list.

Straight from my condo mom and I headed to the hospital to get my drains out :) :) :) A little discomfort and minutes later I was free... that will reduce my pain considerably going forward.  AND make showering and sleeping soooo much easier.  Just enjoy your shower tomorrow - we don't know how lucky we are to just be able to shampoo and cleanse with no issue!

Without drains, my physio continues to escalate now, to increase my range of motion and evenutally be able to drive etc.  My incisions are also still in healing mode, and any activiity will really help that process too.  Next big step will be follow up appointment with Dr. Graham likely next week to go over pathology results and connect with the oncology team about whatever else I need to do.

But for now, another important phase done.  Move - check. Drains - check.  Combined with one week since surgery and 17 years tomorrow since transplant #1, I feel I have no issue justifying dinner at the Keg.  

Cheers
