Recovering

Today marks a week since my surgery and I'm feeling really good! On a scale of 1-10 my mastectomy was a 9, this one is a 2! I am able to sleep in my bed even better than when I had my expanders in, so nice. The boys got to stay with Cinnie and Papa for a few days.  Thank you guys! They had so much fun with their cousins and you guys!  We were able to see Captain America in the theater the night before my surgery and I have to say it was a pretty fitting movie to watch before this procedure, although I can't jump 30 feet or take out Red Skull while going down in a plane, I feel like a new woman, (as cheesey as that sounds).
I'm so grateful my mom is here, she's been with us for almost a week and it has helped sooo much! I still can't lift anything more than 5lbs, can't push or pull anything or outstretch my arms ( have to keep my elbows to my sides) because I have extra stitching that can bust open. That would lead to another surgery.  Recovery will be 4-6 weeks.
Jeff has been super helpful too and it was nice to have just some us time while the kiddos were at Cinnie and Papas even if it was just laying around the house watching movies.
I am so grateful for a family that loves me so much and is so supportive. The boys are being very careful around me. Lucy was the biggest issue with jumping but has gotten better.
Laughter is the best medicine and we've been having a lot of that around here. Thanks to The IT Crowd, Kid History, and Ricky Gervais stand up (but I can't recommend that one- little too raunchy).
The boys leave to visit their cousins Jaxon and baby Alice tomorrow, wish I could go with them :(.  But my mom and I will have fun together, just us. I think we may go see the Help.

I'll leave you with some old photos of the boys we just found on an old camera.

Look how little he is!
