I'm 7 days post op from a mommy make over (TT BL BA) and so far everything has been going good with healing. This morning however, I woke up with my right pinky finger numb as well as a small part of the right side of my hand numb. When I went to the bathroom twice this morning I noticed a few drops of blood in my urine each time. I don't have any abnormal pain and it doesn't appear I am unusually swollen anywhere. Is this normal?
