Good morning RS. It's been a while since I updated. I been trying to get the hang of things. I came home Thursday around 4:30 pm. That day was so horrible. My first flight was delayed by almost 2hrs. Then wen I landed in New York there was no wheelchair available so I had to force myself to walk which was so hard. Every 5 steps I had to sit and take a break. I waited over an hour for a wheelchair. I finally went thru immigration and custom. I had less than an hour to catch my next flight. Had to wait for wheelchair again and ended up missing my flight. I called bae and cried cuz I didn't know wat to do. He contacted delta airline and they book a different flight for me free of charge. (It was first class) I waited over an hour again for a wheelchair and I got feed up n just started walking. Even tho I was in a lot of pain I didn't want to miss my flight again so I told myself to man up. I was so frustrated with myself cuz I couldn't do things on my own. A lady that worked there saw me struggling n she helped me to the ladies room. I cried on her shoulder and told her I waited over 2 hrs for assistance. By the time I was done with the bathroom she had a wheelchair waiting for me. (She was an angel sent from above) I told her I dont know where my suitcase was. Within seconds she had it for me. She told the guy pushing me to bring me directly where I need to go. I was finally able to eat. When I got to my gate (which was all the way at the end of the airport) I was told my gate was change. I was [RS bleep]. By then it was 2:30 n my flight is at 3. I waited 20 mins for a wheelchair once more, had to take a shutter bus to my gate. Wen I finally got there I was literally the last person to board. It was pass 3. Wen I landed in Boston suprisingly there's was a wheelchair waiting for me n I had no problem getting to where u pickup ur luggage. When I got there I saw bae walking towards me. I was so freaking happy. I just wanted to jump on him and hug him tight. He took over and wheeled me to the car and went back for my suitcase. We drove home and I saw my beautiful babies. They were waiting for me, they hugged me so tight. I cried a little seeing them. Told myself...all my troubles at the airport was worth it. I was finally home.

These pass few days has been rough. Babe does everything for me. From taking care of the kids to keeping the house clean and making sure I'm all set. He took me a nice shower Saturday morning. It felt sooo good... I couldn't shower for over 10 days. The water in DR isn't sterile so u can't let it touch u so u don't get infected. After my shower we watched YouTube videos on lymphatic massage and he attempted to give me one. Believe it or not he did a pretty awesome job. I felt better after. I took a couple pics before I put my faja back on. I do light excersize around the house meaning I walk around. I went downstairs to cook breakfast this morning. I was proud of myself. I took things slow ofcourse, had a chair near by if I needed it. Overall I'm doing better. I'm not in much pain, mostly soreness and I'm supper swollen still. I get the itching sensation now but I trying to ignore it mentally. If I can't, I ask babe to used a towel n gently rub it on my back. It helps. That's all for now. Take care ladies.

Wow 7 days already! I remember taking pics just like that say New Life! Lol idk why this is but other people's recoveries seem to go so fast while your own goes so slow. I felt like I was in DR for ages when I was there for 13 days. I hope you are feeling better and that your recovery is going smoothly! I found the massages by Rosie very helpful!!!

Hey guys. Today was good. Barely any pain. My body is so sore tho. The massages are helping with the swelling. My stage 1 faja is already Loose on me and I'm on the last hook. Tomorrow I will be buyin my stage 2 faja. I'm so excited.
Earlier I had a facial and Rosie did a great job. She got rid of everything. My face is silky smooth. I'm glad I treated myself after all I been thru this week. Took a selfie earlier and was amazed. Can't believe that's me lol and I'm super swollen so imagine wen the swelling goes away... :DD
