First Post-Op Follow-Up

We met with Annie's surgeon this morning for her first follow-up. He was very pleased with the incision and says we can keep the dressings off as long as the incision doesn't get irritated by her clothes or chair. 

The surgeon said the amount of pain she's still having and the amount of pain meds she's still requiring is fairly normal. Hopefully her pain will start to ease up just a bit later this week. But for now she's still getting Valium and Hycet around the clock. 

Our most exciting news is that we can now get her incision wet! We tried using a dry shampoo for her hair earlier this week, but that stuff really doesn't clean much. I think Annie will feel and look like a new girl once we can give her a real shower later today--we'll just have to load her up on pain meds before we do it!
