Today,

I made all of my meals, took a shower, washed my hair, shaved (everything), changed my own dressings, including both catheters, irrigated them, and then changed my temporary urostomy dressing. I did this all by myself. My grandmother was going to come to do it for me but I was bound and determined to try it myself to see if I could do it. It worked. I am proud of myself for doing this on my own and not needing any help. It's not easy to do this with only two hands when you are fist learning how to do it. I am so happy. I am working with my recovery. Some days are great like today and some days I don't feel like moving. I just wanted to post my victory today!

Here's to a good day! I am looking foward to watching American Idol!

Have a good evening everyone!

You have every reason to feel proud of yourself. That was a lot to accomplish alone so soon after surgery. :kiss:

Kara, that is great. I'm so happy for you. I know you are wanting to have a normal life as soon as possible, but please don't over exert yourself. I know it is easy said than done, but you will know when to stop and rest. Hang in there.
