Vertical C-section - aka FRONT BUTT - 17 yrs later - gone 9/13/2011 - Madison, WI

ALMOST 3 WEEKS...
Going back to work tomorrow. So glad that I took 3 weeks off of work. Although I felt pretty good on week 2, I still get tired really fast, even after the smallest tasks. I am sleeping really well now - both sides w/ pillow between my legs. Still wearing binder - real stick of it! Cant wait to wear my clothes without it!! Going to follow my doc's orders - two more weeks he said.

DAY 8...
Feeling pretty good. I am trying to do more things around the house but find myself getting wiped out kinda fast. I do a lttle something and then go sit/lay down. Getting a little stir crazy of being inside. Took a nice walk around the yard - 10 min's. I took my first shower (by myself) today. Pinned my one drain tub to a nylon that I tied around my neck very loosely. I went pretty slow, but did find myself getting a little dizzy once in a while. I started rubbing Palmers Cocoa Butter lotion to my scar/belly today - doctors orders. Belly area still very much numb feeling. What a great time to get a TT - lots of great shows on the old boob tube! :- )

DAY 6 - slept really well last night! Done taking all of my pills - feel really really good!! Just still hard trying to get up from a chair and especially bed. Had my first post op today. One drain tube removed - YAY!! I was kinda scared - didnt hurt one bit!! See my wonderful doctor in four more days - get my belly button stitches out and hopefully my other drain tube! Going to take a short walk outside tomorrow - get some fresh air and a little exercise. AND... getting Applebees tonight ... haha ... appetite back!
