Great day! Half of my staples are gone. I only have 23 left. Dr. Tang said that I can pick up Kayden, and I can drive! He said the rest of the staples will come out next week, but there is nothing I can do about the fluid build up. He did say that sometimes shopping helps. So, Mom took me to this really cool wine shop called The Filling Station. It used to be a full service gas station. There is a drive thru coffee shop where the pumps used to be, and the station itself is an upscale liquor store -- mostly wine. She bought me a bottle of Grey Wolf. Woo hoo! Then, we had Thai Food . . . pumpking curry. Stopped by to see Laurie since she just had gall bladder surgery. Sorry, Laurie, but I'm looking way better than you. : ) I got a call that my disability has been approved. Yep, it's been a great day!
I must say that having metal staples pulled out of Boobarea with tiny pliers is not too terribly comfortable, but pain meds will get me through. Last round of pain meds. Getting healthier every day!
