Better and Better and STILL Cancer Free!!

So almost 24 hours after her surgery, and Melissa is resting peacefully. She was able to get out of bed today, she removed all of her tubes, and switched from intravenous to oral pain meds (other than at the donor site). In addition to a simple breakfast of toast, yogurt and fruit, she was able to eat a turkey sandwich at lunch time and she ordered the blackened shrimp for dinner! Sounds like she is getting better to me! Also, we took a walk in the hallway to the snack bar and she snagged a bottle of cranberry juice for herself before we went back. I guess what I am saying is that in just one day, not even, she is much, much better than immediately after surgery. As the meds detox in her system, she is getting better and better moment by moment. So with a great deal of relief to have this behind us, and knowing that there are still a couple of minor procedures to do to finish up the plastic surgery, we are very pleased with Melissa's status at present and her progress overall. Phew!!!!
