Doctor appointment went well. I once again tried to faint the second the doctor took my girdle off and tried to touch my drain. He hadn't even touched anything before I had to be put in the chair and tilted back to get the blood back to my head. That's the only way to get a cup of water with a straw around that joint! He took my drain out and then gave me the bad news...I still had to wait 24 hours to shower (uuugh) and I needed to take it easy for 2 days while the drain site heals so that it doesn't accumulate fluids. This was of course after I told the girls to come over for bible study, I was totally fine to make dinner. Oye!
We talked about girdles when it became obvious they weren't rushing around to give me a new one. Apparently it's our job to get a new one, they just suggested what kind to get. So, Thursday night, after I'm cleared to start kickin' ass again, we're going to Kohl's to look at their "shapewear". I need a pair of chonies that have a built-in tummy shaper that goes up as high as I can find. Or....I can keep wearing this ridiculous one because you never know when you're going to get challenged to an impromptu sumo-wrestling fight (that's what it looks like).
Shuffling around the house the other day I took notice of the current state of the bedroom. I've been sleeping on the couch for the last two weeks and wearing the same clothes so I haven't really wandered back there in a while. It has slowly turned into some kind of bachelor/frat room.

Just talked to Mum, she's coming over this afternoon to help me wash my hair, make dessert and run to Papa Murphy's to get me a pizza for tonight. Until then, I'm just going to sit and relax...per the doctor's orders.
