    Thank you for commenting. Progress is slow but steady (for recovery and remodel.) We took another load to the dump today and the interior remodel now entails new siding to the front of the house. We are also adding a new front entryway and have picked out an awesome new front door that we will install. Things seems to be going easier this week. I think pushing through the remodel; it has given me something else to look forward to and also new strength in both body and mind.

    I don't think I will need a revision. Dr H said the Internet can lead many of us to diagnose problems that are not actually there or will resolve themselves in time. He is right and things are progressing and getting better as time goes on. Dr. H is a good doctor and knows his stuff. He is quiet, serious, does not have time for small talk but he is a professional. I am happy with him and my progress.

    I think that we all underestimate this surgery. As educated as I was on the subject of tummy tuck, there was nothing that can really prepare you for the recovery. Knowing what a baby I am for pain, I knew I would want about three months to heal before heading back to work. I am at 15 weeks PostOp and am still sore and swollen. I could not imagine going back to work at 2 weeks after surgery, but I have read stories of these wonder women who do. A friend told me to take the time to heal, at my pace. I am fortunate to be able to do so. Stay home as long as you can and take care of yourself.

    Nerves are normal. Tummy tuck is a huge surgery and as educated as I was on the subject nothing could prepare me for what the journey really entailed; kind of like having a baby or getting married in that you can't explain it until you actually go through with it. You will do fine. It has been worth it for me so far even the bad days. Thanks for posting and keep focused on what your goals are. You will do fine and look fab, too!
