Physical therapy with Dale. Actually, this first round was really just meet and greet with evaluation. She set some ground rules and sent us off with some tape that she wanted Kris to test out on her arm. The tape is to help scar tissue to heal so that it leaves little or no mark. The test run was due to the fact that Kris is quite sensitive to tape products on her skin. Fortunately, she reacted very well to the tape, which was mildly surprising.
After the appointment with Dale, we saw Dr. Kuisle following up on the installation of the small drain. Things are looking good. He asked for us to come back Monday, at which time we expect him to remove all of the stitches save the drain and stitches for it. He will back the drain out a bit at that time.

Met with Dale again and went through some gentle physical therapy, more like massage than anything else. She taped up the scar from the Tram flap (Kris belly basically) and gave us information on Lymph edema. This last is a concern since Kris has lost most of the Lymph nodes for her left arm. Which means that some of it's drainage has been removed.
