After a quite frankly dreadful december so far, I woke today feeling more positive. I've been positive before though and it has all come crashing down, so I am hoping that isn't the case today. I am in less pain, from all sorts of things, today, and we even went for a proper walk at the beach (though I was pooped afterwards)
We took my dressing off yesterday which was utterly terrifying I have to say. The surgeon does things differently apparently. She likes to use no external stitches at all, it is all external. So on the incision itself you have a steristrip and waterproof dressing. We were told to remove it after 10 days. We were worried and it didn't come off easily but off it is and the scar, though much longer than I expected, is healing well. So, next stage is complete.
I just have an iridotomy check and an ultra sound to deal with this week!!
Anyway, presents are wrapped, shopping is largely done, house will be blitzed tomorrow and then I can say we are Christmas ready - or as ready as we can be.
Plus I am up to date on my journal
I confess they are not the most exciting pages I have ever made - it has not been the most exciting month I have ever had. But it is a record of what has been happening.
Today I am thankful for
- positivity today
- less pain
- healing scares
- catch up
- the beach
- my wonderful husband and my incredible best friend.
