As you know, yesterday was my first expansion and if I must be completely honest, which I will, I think I actually feel BETTER! I think since he filled up my expanders they have moved a little bit out from under my armpit which has been such a relief. I took some Ibuprofen this AM before work and took my ice packs with me to work today and that has seem to do the trick. OH and this glass of wine! ;) Here is the video of the expansion but please keep in mind that it is very AMATURE, but it still took me a long time! On a different note I have to tell you just how blessed I feel for all of the help and support I have received. I am not sure I would have made it this far without it, so thank you all for being a part of that! I had a friend email me on Monday after reading my blog about needing help at the grocery store and asked for my list. Her and her girls went to HEB today and knocked it out then carried them up my 3 flights of stairs for me. I can't tell you or her how I appreciative I am. While I get around pretty good these days, I can't lift or extend my arms much so that really limits what I can and can't do for myself. Washing my hair is still a difficult task as far as reaching goes and getting into my apartment complex because I have to reach out of the car to access the gate sensor is a total travesty. BUT, here is my loot from today: The meals I have planned to make with all of this yummy goodness are Thai Cashew Coconut Rice, Quinoa Lentil Salad, Chicken Enchilada Quinoa bake, Sweet Potato Nachos, Shakshuka (an Israeli egg dish) and a hearty, homemade Beef Stew. Just click on each one for the links if you would like to see them! ENJOY :D
