Just got home from my first trip to the grocery store. Took a friend to do all the lifting and pushing the buggy. I feel like a balloon about to pop!!! I am not complaining just stating facts lol. I'll be 3 weeks out tomorrow.

So I know what swell hell is lol! The place one of my drains was is ugly and has some stuff in it that looks like puss but its kinda firm. Ps didn't seem to concerned about it. I'm putting antibiotic cream and a pad on it. Everything else looks pretty good. Loving that I can wear spanx instead of that damn binder. I'm not wearing either right now. I can put on jeans but haven't wore them yet. Just posing in the mirror. :) for some reason I haven't been able to upload pics lately but I will try again soon.
