Beth is doing well as she completes her third week since surgery. It's so obvious how much progress she is making each and every day and her doctors are so pleased. It's still uncomfortable to raise her arms over her head which is an absolute must.. So she continues to work on this daily hoping to avoid physical therapy. She is still very limited to what she can lift - absolutely nothing 10 lbs or heavier for a few more weeks - easier said than done..
Big step was receiving an OK to drive, but only when she absolutely has to - so she's not doing much driving. She is out and about, but no doubt tires easily which for her is a big frustration...
She looks wonderful though and the smile and sparkle are no doubt coming back...
What's next: meeting with the oncologist in early March to discuss the next phase, but one thing at a time.
So right now it's time to concentrate on regaining her strength and getting as much rest as possible and keeping those muscles stretched so she can get her arms "comfortably" over her head!!! As always - your continued thoughts and prayers are so appreciated...
