Journal entry by Heather Bender

Good morning! 

I finally got some decent sleep last night, that has helped quite a bit! I had a bit of a rough night last night with some anxiety and my body just waking up again after anesthesia, today I’m feeling better and hoping I’m on the upward slope now! 
I am bruised from head to toe from shots, bloodwork, and the incisions. The port in my neck will come out tomorrow, but it sounds like I will have to go home with the drain in my abdomen due to continued drainage. I am just happy to be able to leave the hospital and take a shower!
