Dishes and clothes should be alright. Just be careful and dont pull against the spot where the sutures are.
Vacuuming depends on how heavy it is. Take it easy and listen to your body, but keep moving in a gentle way can be best way to heal.

Good Morning my beautiful cyber grandgirl Claire @outlander 🙂
I hope you got some comfortable rest last night. So your looking at doing some housework tomorrow - gee I wish you lived with me! 🙂 First and foremost because you have this deep brainwashing that housework has to be done, where as I've learnt, from my experiences in life, that most people actually survive in a messy house 😄 What do I think is acceptable for you to do, what you are willing to do. I'd be keeping within pain lines and I think it would be brilliant if you could get your Sisters to do something - like the washing and the dishes . . . and maybe get the scrubbing brush out to the floors 😄
I'm feeling a happy glow and relief today, as my child picked-up their new car yesterday, and were suitably thrilled with it and with my help 😄 I could tell by the little things, their voice had an almost childish tone to it, their speech was fast and excited, and I could hear my little girl in the Thank-yous 😄 I have not always been the best Mother, I tried not to be a bad one, but I think I failed on occasions. When it comes to arranging things, I honestly think I have a physical inability to do so - it all just overwhelms me and comes crashing down and falls apart. My child did a lot for me when they were at home, I really noticed everything when they left. I still rely on them when I need a phone call to be made and they are the only contact I have with real life, so they ring me every night 🙂 My child really did all the arranging, I just used my facility - who'd of thought my name could be useful? 😄
I hope you still take it easy despite wanting to tidy up today. I thought I was getting an xray today, but upon checking, I discovered it was next week {Phew, I've had enough excitement for this week :)}
Lots of love to you Claire

Hello Claire @outlander 🙂
I think you've done enough now, time to rest and continue healing 🙂 I'm very impressed to hear you Sister did the vaccuming 😄 I think your Sisters would love you a great deal, they see who's doing the most of the Mothering, they know who it is they really rely on 😉 I think your Mother will regret her actions once her children leave home, and they will, not just you, but your Sisters as well - I think then your Mother will realize she blew her chances at the best friends she could ever of had! Glad to hear you see you GP soon, I hope you get the 'all clear' as well
Every Mum is a failure, it's impossible to be one without failing somewhere 🙂 Like everything else it's a continuous struggle, but the special moments are what that struggle is all about to me 🙂 And it's such a deep feeling, I think this occasion is a very special one 🙂 It's not just a car, it's trust, caring . . . . love
The x-rays just a dental one, just for maintanence type stuff I think {fillings and the likes} - I'm super-glad it's next week, 'cause I really doubt I would have got there today 😉
Time to take it easy now, sending you a cyber ice cold lemonade, or a steaming hot chocolate . . . tell you what in cyberworld I'm standing in front of you with a tray of every drink known to man, so you can choose which one you want 😄
Love to you Claire

Just calm down @outlander, it is probably normal procedure the doctor wants to see you, they might want to check the wound too

I hope you get that appointment soon Claire @outlander, the waiting can be cruel. I'm sending everything positive and calm. When do you get these results?
Lots of love and hugs to you, and a tight squeeze of you hand
