I am almost 1 week out from my tummy tuck surgery and am doing great. My check-up with my doctor yesterday went very well. He told me that I look exactly like I'm supposed to I can start walking taller now. I was nervous about tearing my incision open if I stood up straight but he said that I wouldn't. He was right and wow...what a difference it makes in my back!! Last night I started out reclined on many pillows then kept removing a pillow every so often until I was almost laying flat out. Today I can walk pretty much upright and was able to get myself up, gave myself a bath, emptied my drains, cleaned my incision and changed my dressings all by myself! Yea ME!!! I wore myself out but I'm happy that I am able to help myself today!
My pain threshold is getting bigger. Right now I'm only hurting around my drains (they will come out next Wed) and I let a percocet or Tylenol help with that discomfort when it gets to be too much. My nose has been running for days but I can't blow it ~ isn't that weird? I just can't get the air or muscle control to blow my nose! I did almost cry this morning when I finally went to the bathroom!
That's the post-surgery update right now. Maybe tomorrow I will post a picture!
Happy Saturday!
