Today I am thankful. Today I let myself recover. Today I was able to take a walk. The fresh air was amazing. I am beyond thankful today is the last day of having these drains in. These drains that have caused me to sit sleeping up the past 10 nights. These drains that have caused me pain. These drains that I try to hide in oversized hoodies. These drains that caused me so much pain last night I was crying and hyperventilating (very rare for me). These drains that caused me to rush to the ER last night where my blood pressure was 155/103 (I usually run in the 90/60 range) which the nurse couldn’t believe he had taken it twice - all due to pain. I am very thankful to the ER doctor that was able to manipulate the drains and stop the pain. 12 hours and 30 minutes until these drains come out. Today was a bad body image day again, I miss exercise. I feel weak, I feel like not doing anything is not enough. This feeling is hard to overcome. I chose to wear the leggings and smaller hoodie again, exposing not only my drains but parts of my body I feel uncomfortable with. I am learning to accept my new life - whatever this may be, I am taking it day by day #mastectomy #breastreconstruction #strongwoman #prorecovery #realrecovery #depression #anxiety #ednos #edwarrior #edfamily #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #breastcancerawareness #fightlikeagirl https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl4TZu6lrWz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ww1qqoq7e8io -- source link
