WORTH IT$20,000
A very interesting 2 weeks... I sure thought I was nuts for going through with this, this time last week! But now, I am glad I did!!! I am still sore, mainly in my boobs, but the Doc gave me the instruction on massaging them and they honestly feel much better after I am done! Swelling is in fully swing, but I still look great! I am thrilled with my results. I did, however, underestimate the healing process... I am used to jumping up and going, but that is just NOT possible.
I will take and post pics soon!!!

Day 9 PO:
So, Today is PO day 9... I can't believe I am here, in that I am now starting to turn the corner. I am typically a fast healer and quick to get up and moving... not so much now. Hard, painful and slow - is how I would describe this process. Today was my first real day out of the house: we went to Target, Sprouts, Sports Authority for a new bra and I was toast. 1 hour and a half and I was whopped! I came home and lay daown for about 2 hours and then off to my kids softball game. THAT really did me in. I am not in pain, only slightly sore, but tired, tired, tired. Had an hour nap after that, so feeling a tad better!
I stand up straight, but is sure doesn't feel like it! My tummy is so tight, it feels like I am hunched, but I am not. That tells you how tight it is!!!
I am really pleased with my results thus far. Still slight bruising, but otherwise great! This has definately made me stop and care for myself.

1 week PO:
This is hard. It is hard to not be Mom, to not be wife, to not be business owner... Right now, it is about me doing the bare minimum and concentrating on healing. A huge slice of humble pie was served up to me after having tried to do too much.
The house will eventually be put back in order, I will catch up on business and the hubs and I have time to date and be close. Right now my priorities are myself and my kiddies....
Still no driving.
Lots of brusing from the lipo, boobs are dropping and look fantastic, tummy looks funny, but I can tell the outcome will be great!
Have been shopping online, a lot... o_O
The time has not quite flown by. I get outside, but have not officially been able to leave the house. Not because of pain, but the swelling and inablity to drive henders that.
I am ready for a nice long walk and trip to the park with my kids. I am ready to cook again and not have to sit down periodically to rest... This is definately a rough road. Everyone heals differently.
