Rachel’s pain gets a little better each day. She’s able to get in and out of bed by herself and has gone on a few 20-minute walks. Going up and down stairs are no problem either. She doesn’t need pain meds nearly as often as she did the first few days after surgery. Her biggest challenges right now are sitting  up in a chair and reaching; her neck and shoulders are still really stiff and sore. We’re hoping that sitting gets easier for her before we head back to Maine on the 23rd. She’s sitting up playing League of Legends on her laptop right now, so her neck and shoulders must be feeling at least a little bit better right now. 🙂

Rachel has her follow-up appointment with the plastic surgeon tomorrow; hopefully she’ll get the drains removed then.
