30 days post op

4 weeks post. I cannot believe it. I still cannot walk straight...cannot walk for long and low energy level..oh and did I mention the swelling sucks. I don't feel flat but keep praying that this is just the healing process...oh but it's sooooo long and I am losing patience. I am happy somtime and sometime wonder why I did this( this is when the old pics come in handy). I get twinge and sharp pain here and there which is annoying .My belly button is small so not very happy about that ( hope this is also temporary) and the area around belly button is hard and hurts by the end of the day only. All in all it's been 4 weeks and it's better than day 1. Happy healing everyone.

Yesterday going home I had no choice but to run to catch my train and by the time I got in the train I was shaking...I was in so much pain all night after....my incision are on the hips hurts so bad. I called out of work today....I dont know how I am going to go back to work and my normal life...I feel so upset.

It's been somtime since I posted...so thought I would update. Got my drains removed on oct 10(14 days later) I was however told that I could shower while my drains were in right after my first post op visit. The dr changed my dressing to clear tape. At the time my drains were removed the dr also removed the gauze that was in my belly button..since that time I have notice my belly button shrinking...hope it is normal. I also returned to work 16 days post op...today was my second day. It is really hard since I still cannot walk stright...I have a office job so I sit all day which is not bad but it's the commute that is painful by the time I get to work I am ready for a nap and dreading the commute going back home. I am still hunched, my incision area hurts as if it will split open when I try to walk straight. Us women....we go thru so much...I am taking it one day at a time and not pushing myself so hard. Right now I am focused more on healing so by body is he boss. Happy healing everyone!!!
