Mary is definitely a solid graduate of Step 2!
The doc told her to assume 'normal' routines. She is likely to feel like she is recovering from a major surgery and so she cannot go full tilt--yet. But, he put no restrictions on her and encouraged her to resume all normal activities as soon as she feels strong enough to do so.
Mary commented that she has avoided going out in public places to minimize risk of infection. His response was that she should go shopping, to the mall, out to eat, whatever! I asked him to modify that to minimize the shopping or simply skip that part altogether--it could be expensive!
I cannot express how wonderful it is to hear the doctor say that she has successfully completed step 2. Wonderful!
We'll meet the radiation and oncology doctors in the next week or two and that will lead to radiation treatment. We won't see the surgeon for 6 weeks or so.
Happy Day, Really Happy Day!
