First Week

Had a checkup yesterday with the surgeon and got rid of one of the drains.

I made a run to Falmouth Hospital to pick up a second binder which they’d inadvertently forgotten to include in my discharge kit.

I’ve put on two pounds a day in fluid this week. Had to wash blood-stained bed linens again.

We made supper last night for the first time since the surgery: ravioli and meatballs, salad. I had stomach pains for hours from the tomato sauce.

Lizzie had a tough night, barked and trumped a couple of times.

Made reservations and paid for a veg supper on the Sunday of my birthday weekend.

Ron’s friend Annette passed away over the weekend.

When Tony’s son didn’t show up yesterday, Ron drove Tony to and from an outpatient medical procedure in North Falmouth.
