Congrats on making it out of surgery healthy and whole! I'm sure you're sore, but it'll get better. :) I love it when doctors don't use drains - You look great. Take care when you go back to work and take it easy if you can! Looking good :)
Thanks mama I'm such a punk I attempted my first shower today & panicked. Lol I felt so weird outside of my garment girl I was a mess
LMAO!! I don't plan to take a shower until at least 5 days after surgery x_x I think I'll be too scared. You are braveeee!!
Lookin'good....hope your healing progresses speedily!
I will as soon as I get enough courage to take off my garment for more than 5 mins at a time
OMG! YOU LOOK AWESOME! CANT WAIT TO SEE THE FINAL STAGE. GET PLENTT OF REST FOR MONDAY!!!!

Hey my boos!!! So it's 1 day post op dr. Alkon did his thing guys. I was out of it yesterday so I couldn't do the update but here goes. From surgery to discharge I was in the hospital for 10 hrs. I was impressed by ALL the nurses at trinitas hospital in Elizabeth NJ they were so gentle & kind I was taken care of. I just got home from my i day post op appointment with dr. A he explained to me how all the swelling will go down & stuff. Right now I'm not in pain it's a burning uncomfortable feeling on my ass I didn't take any pain meds I am however taking my antibiotics. I tried to get next week off fr work but was denied the time so I'm back to work Monday that's scary to me because I operate trains for a living so ill be going in my train cab with my boppy cushion & my pillows if they don't like it oh well I will NOT sabotage my surgery. Apart fr that I'm just anxious right now to be back to some normalcy to be able to walk upright & don't have to think to hard when I'm about to lay down. I'll definitely keep y'all posted thanks for all the support guys
