Back to Routine and Some Pampering

Ann and I hit the ground running this morning, going over to the hospital at 8:00am for my blood work, X-ray, and pulmonary rehab. Once back at the hotel, a home health nurse came and changed the dressing on my PICC line site. I finished one of my IV medications yesterday and will finish the other one Wednesday, so I am hoping to get rid of the PICC line soon. My sleep patterns might get a little better once I don't have to adhere to an IV schedule.

This afternoon I got a little pampering time. Kristi's niece had recommended a hair salon nearby so I got my hair highlighted and trimmed. It felt really good to have that done. Of course, the stylist was no Julie Filiatreau (miss you Julie!), but she did a good job and now I won't have to worry about my hair for awhile. I told Ann that even though a lot of my body looks pretty beat up right now, at least my hair can look good!  After my appointment, we went next door to a homemade ice cream shop and treated ourselves.  I am all about the treats these days!

I got my hair did!

After all of that activity I was wiped out! It is amazing to me how tired I get after certain activities and by the end of the day. This recovery process really is a slow one.  No one promised it would be easy.  But I do know it will be worth it!

I went to Target!  (Cashier is not impressed)
