2weeks po

  • 15 Feb 2014
Well yesterday was my two week anniversary and I feel great. I started driving, am walking upright, but still sleeping in the recliner. Stopped my pain meds about 3 days after surgery and did fine. Using arnica and who knows if that helps but I'll take it. My recovery had been smooth compared to what I expected! I really think I could've worked this week but I do get tired quickly. My only concern is on the end of my scar I have a puffy area of extra skin...might be a dog ear. I'll see my doc in 3 weeks and trust he will let me know what it is. I'm not too worried, I'm sure he'll fix it if needed. Overall I couldn't be happier. Scar is low and looks good! Now if I can stop eating crap and get back to normal diet. We've had a ton of snow and I feel like I want to eat! When did you guys start working out again?

I survived! Not too bad so far...

Hi ladies...so I made it! Got to hospital at 530am, surgery at 7am, and home by 11am. I have a pain pump and I think it helps a lot. I still have pain but it feels like I'm sore from an ab workout. I've taken one Vicodin and some Motrin which seems to be perfect. I have had nausea off and on and that scares the hell out of me. I'm taking anti nausea meds and praying I won't get sick. Recliner is a must and I have a walker too. I've peed atleast 15 times so moving around a lot. The annoying think is that it's only little trickles because I don't want to push. I don't have a binder yet...just bandages. I think I'll get my binder next week when I see my doc.....I guess they all do things a little different. Doc was great today and I was treated so nicely. I going to update this as much as possible. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I'm babbling now so I'm going to go rest:)

Dr. Sewell came highly recommended from several physicians in my area. In Richmond you hear the same names over and over and I had not heard of him. After a consult, I was sold. He is patient, kind, and answered all of my questions. I had 2 other consults with surgeons that were well known and there was no comparison. I would say he's on the "younger" side and I can tell he takes pride in his work. My scar looks fantastic and my recovery has been smooth with no complications. I have not had a ton of follow up appointments like others on this site, but I don't feel like I've needed them. If I had a problem, I know I could see him. I will say he seems to do things a little differently than others, and I appreciate that! His office manager Michelle is fantastic! I highly recommend him!
