Nothing really new to talk about on that front.  Yes, I still have my cursed drains.  I saw the doctor yesterday for a regular followup and he said they remove them at 8 weeks.  The nurse replied with &#8220;not when they&#8217;re at 40!&#8221; and he didn&#8217;t reply.  So he scheduled to see me in 2 weeks.  That&#8217;ll be almost 9 weeks post op.  I have faith that he&#8217;ll take them out at that appointment no matter what.  I honestly think at this point, maybe the drains themselves are making the wound not heal up faster.  They were on a steady decline to 35\/40 until January started.  They&#8217;ve not moved since (except one day number 2 shot up but it was just that once).  So I&#8217;m scared they&#8217;ll have to drain fluid with a needle if they remove them, but I also haven&#8217;t been laid since NOVEMBER.<\/li><li>At least he took off my 10lb lift limit.  I can pick up things now!  Rather than stare sadly at them and ask someone else to do it.   <\/li><li>Mr C&#8217;s birthday was yesterday!  The big 40!  I made him the <a href=\"https:\/\/cursingcats.com\/?p=123\">lemon tart (recipe here) that he loves<\/a> because he got <a href=\"https:\/\/cursingcats.com\/?p=178\">chocolate mousse<\/a> for Christmas.   I made it all &#8212; the giant pain in the ass.  I used M&#8217;s tip to mix the crust pastry in the food processor rather than by hand &#8212; GENIUS.  I juiced all the lemons, I zested, I custard-ed.  I clean up all the dishes and then went to put the beautiful tart in the fridge and saw one and a half sticks of butter on the counter.  Fuck fuck fuck.  I had to dump out all the custard, put it back over the heat and dissolve all the butter then pour it back in.  It doesn&#8217;t seem to have suffered for it but damn.  Close one.  I was so pleased with myself before I saw that butter too.  <\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m seven weeks post op tomorrow (tummy tuck and arm lift).
