I just realized that I never updated after my SECOND er visit! smh so the very next day that I was released from the hospital for the transfusion, I had an unusually high resting heart rate, so, I called dr j. and he said he really thinks im gonna be ok, but advised me to go back to the er just to be safe. so i go back to the hospital and they do more blood tests and my hemoglobin was up even from the day b4, so that was great news. but then they had to figure out y my HR was still so high. they did a CT scan of my lungs to make sure there were no blood clots and there ended up being none, Thank God!! so the er dr was kinda like, he didnt know y it was high and jus sent me on my way saying i would be ok. LOL well thankfully so far he has been correct. I do notice that I still have a higher than normal HR, but I guess there nothing to be done about it. Hoping that it straightens itself out as my body fully recovers and straightens itself out too!

Im 2 weeks post op today, and im noticing a bit of volume loss. its disheartening, but i just keep trying to tell myself that this happens to everyone and Just praying that i do the fluff thing that others talk about! I mean, I still look good and stuff, but it has gone down. I have been slacking on my diet a bit tho. but mine is that I need to maintain or even gain more (as recommended by dr j.) but i just havent been eating enuf. so ima start tryna eat more, n hopefully itll pump this thang back up a lil haha. as far as recovery goes, everything has felt likt 90% since the first week really EXCEPT for my inner thighs/knees. wooooweeeee he did work on them babies, and they are still bruised and swollen hard! they also told me that inner thighs would take the longest to heal, so i was expecting a slow go wit them anyway....well they def right! everything get a lil better/easier each day, so thats encouraging, cuz with these thighs mangled so much, i still walk a lil funny, still can barely reach my feet, among other things. So ladies, if he goes hard on your inner thighs, inner knees and anterior thigh areas, then be prepared to be handicapped for a lil bit longer than most. the legs are no joke! .......on another note, my waist keeps shrinking bit by bit, but sadly so does the booty. not as much as the waist tho, of course.

Just wanted 2 give a quick update. I went in 4 my 1 week post op yesterday, & ended up going 2 the ER and needing a blood transfusion! It was do crazy cuz I didn't feel THAT bad. But anyway had to stat over night, got out today. I'm feeling better, but still not to 100%. Gotta take iron pills to get outta the anemia stage. I didn't realize how scary close to danger I was! I had an extremely high heart rate (144, stroke rsk starts at 150) and an extremely low blood pressure (99/36) , hemoglobin was 6.5, & supposed to b 10+, very scary #s yall! But thank god everything is back on the right track! Dr j was very very cool. He is such a sweetie. He came to the hospital to see me today n stayed n talked with me for like over an hour! He's really nice. :)
