Went out into the big wide world yesterday!!! Goodness it felt good to be out with the living!!! I drive too. I did a lot of walking which made me pretty tired physically. No pain though! The only pain I had was when my perfume made me sneeze! Ouch!!!!

Thanks for sharing! I'm 5days PO today, and I very much agree with you. I feel it's similar to my Csection, slightly easier as I don't feel like my guts are going to fall out! Only difference is not being able to stand up straight/lie down flat. Either way, both made me miss tummy sleeping. Good luck on your healing!
Same to you with the healing! Have you quit the pain meds yet? I haven't taken any today but still feel dizzy:$ just seeing if it's just the normal 'come down'
How are you feeling today? Hope your recovery is not making you crazy!!! For me it's getting a little annoying as I'm so used to being in control of the house, urghhhhh my house is a disaster!!!!!!!!! I get my 2nd drain out tomorrow though so hopefully it wll make be feel more comfortable to try sleeping in bed!
Sorry, I'm new to this site so I didn't know that you had replied! I'm 21 dpi today and feeling pretty good! I stopped taking my pain pills around 8 days ago. I've honestly had zero pain issues the entire time EXCEPT those evil drains! The very second the stitches holding them in were clipped I could hear angels singing! I've had mostly good days, but definitely broken down with my bad days of WTF did I get myself into. First one was about 7dpo and I was staring into the mirror looking at how gruesome I looked/felt. Then last week I had another meltdown because like you, my house has taken the brunt of things. I cannot wait to sweep, mop, vacuum, do anything! No one cleans like momma does ;) I'm still hunched over a little, my back is killing me. I'm a big time tummy sleeper so when I can stretch out and do that again I will be so happy! I have one last PO appointment in two weeks to remove my belly button sutures. Already I feel pretty great about myself. I use to wake up and worry "What can I wear today that I can hide myself in." I would get the how far along are you comments daily and now I wake up thinking what can I wear that I haven't been able to in years?!
