Thanks for B-day wishes
Thank you all for the birthday wishes, I was out of town for a soccer tournment for my daughter and didn't bring my computer so I am a little late on the thanks.
I am still recovering from my reconstruction, I still have one drain in its been 4 weeks and it is still draining about 15-20cc a day, still too much for me since I tend to react to any fluid on this side. I see PC today he may start to expand this side, but I want to keep drain in to see how it reacts, don't like the idea of having to put it back in if it starts to turn red and swollen again. I feel I have a fear of taking it out.
The rest of the recovery is going well, I almost have most of my shoulder range of motion back, the wound on my back where the muscle was taken is healing well. I'm lookin forward to getting back on my bike in a couple of weeks for some light riding. Have been doing spin bike at home and its sooo boring.
