Drains out!

The doctor took the drains out yesterday because he felt like it was too risky to keep them in. Holy cow did that hurt when he pulled them out!!! I'm going back tomorrow and he will talk to me about how I can take a shower. I still can't lift my arms up, but it might feel good to be in the shower! My chest is still very tight and uncomfortable. I'm trying to take my pain med every five hours instead of every four hours. It has been such a blessing for people to bring over meals! Thank you! Even reading posts or emails has really helped me! Even though this has been hard at times, God has been with me every step of the way, and I know that there are lessons He is teaching me that I wouldn't be able to learn any other way. He is also showing me how much He loves me through each of you!
