Last Wednesday one of my best friends flew in to take care/hang out/keep me company while my hubby went back to work.....and this best friend of mine happens to live in NY right now so we don't get to see each other too often. You could imagine how excited I was to have her come hang out for 3 days!!! We mostly lounged, but since I've been feeling pretty good we walked over to trader joes where we got some essential groceries (which my friend carried back to my house since I can't lift heavy things...lame) to bake the quintessential fall treat...pumpkin bread!!!!!!! :) It was delicious!!!!
We went for a longer walk than I had taken before, about 2 miles! I was tired, but it felt great!!! My legs needed the work and I needed the push for sure!!
Getting outside feels so good when you've been stuck inside for several days!
I noticed, during our walk, that underneath my left breast (still haven't come up with new names for them yet - TBD soon), right where the breast sort of "hits" the ribs, there was a sharp stinging sensation that led to a desire to itch! The more we walked the itchier it became, which was quite frustrating!!! I tried to rub it a bit to get the itchy feeling to go away, but in the end I had to just ignore it. This definitely didn't inhibit anything or deter me from walking but it was a pest!
I also started to develop a strange rash after I showered on Wednesday. It was in between my breasts where the saran wrap like dressings were not covering my skin. It was very red and sort of scaly (as you can see below) and it itched like CRAZY!!! I also noticed that all of the skin NOT covered in the saran wrap still LOOKED like saran wrap...it was super damaged!!!! I can only assume it was because my skin had a bad reaction to the iodine they used during the operation but quickly removed once they realized my skin didn't enjoy it. I ended up emailing the picture to the surgeon and he called me as soon as he got it to say that he didn't think it was an infection and if I moisturized it and used cortisone cream it would go away on its on. About 3-4 days later it did clear up and my skin looks like it's healing!

I also had 2 other friends come visit while my friend from NY was there as well!!! We got pedicures, watched movies, relaxed, caught up and one of my girlfriends even cooked us an amazing lunch (she's a chef)!!!!
Bright Fun Pedicures Goat Cheese and Fig Crostini
It ended up being a great time and I was actually pretty tired by the time everyone was gone and it was back to being just me and the hubby again (and he was pretty happy that he got me all to himself again :)) The week and weekend came to a great end and I got to relax and enjoy some quiet time :)
