10/2/14: rough night last night, but I felt a little better this morning. It took nearly an hour to remove my dressing, clean up my incision, carefully wash my hair, and redress my incision. My patient, long-suffering husband helped me redress it, which required him to stand on a step ladder. In retrospect, I imagine we made quite a sight. Two weeks until the stitches are removed, and I'm supposed to go through this ceremony every day until then. Not sure that's going to happen. The good news? I got the pathology result back today and it was benign. Whew.
I got back to work mid-morning, with nothing but a bandaid on my head to indicate that anything was out of the ordinary. My head was still pounding, but I made it through the work day. To reward myself, I went with my friend to the open house of a new spa and then back to their house for pizza. Not a bad recovery day.
Tomorrow is already Friday, and then another weekend with few obligations and plenty of recovery time. And a 20% off coupon for a massage from the spa open house. Things are looking up!
