Recovery in Progress

 We have settled into our new home and are slowly getting our energy.  Some of our daily routines of eating and cleaning continue but we have added exercise to help build our strength and reduce mucus.  We are still on our wonderful liquid diet.  Today's lunch was melted ice cream, pureed curry soup, pureed chicken noodle soup brought from home, and Jello from home.  This will be finished by dinner time.  

When looking on Airbnb just before we left for Taiwan, I had one requirement for our post-op place to stay the couch needed to look comfortable.  This is usually where the little princess usually resides for a while until she gets her energy back.  Tessa spends most of her time on the couch reading leisurely, summer school reading, texting, watching movies, napping, and getting her fill of Mark Rober (YouTube).  

Our new place to stay could not have been in a better spot.  We are on the 24th floor overlooking a bustling area in a tiny apartment.  

Our building is the one with the circles.  We are on the 24th floor.

We do a lot of cleaning, suctioning, ointment applying, and dried blood removing.  This is where Tessa's station is where she does a majority of it with all of her goodies.

In trying to build up our stamina we go for daily walks.  We walk through fancy shops and places that look like where the next Coronavirus may come from.  Very interesting.  Our hope is to do a second walk tonight after we recoup from our morning walk.  The hope is to take the subway tomorrow to the zoo and maybe Taipei Tower.  Our next follow-up appointment is Monday afternoon where some stitches will be taken out.
