13 Days Post Op - Columbus, OH

Today makes 13 days po op. Wow this has been nothing like I thought it would be the recover hurts and is long. I wish I could do the normal things I use to around the house. I got both my drains removed on po op day 9 was so happy about that to finally take a shower and not my boyfriend giving me a baby wipe bath. One of the drain holes has not closed and is leaking fluid out of it the other closed up over night it seamed like. My swelling is horrible last night I thought my body was going to explode from my neck to my feet. My binder is coming apart not sure if I should start wearing my spanx that I have ( use to call it my fat sucker inner) before the tt,bl,ba and tl. I have a drs appt. on thrusday to get my stitches removed then have to go back to work for 4 hrs on friday not sure how that is going to work as I work in a factory and stand all day I can't even stand on and off for a couple hrs out of the day without swelling bad. The things we go through to look good and feel better about ourselves.
