  • Posted to wheelchairs, walkers, toilet seat lifter, and tub seats really needed? on 1 Apr 2013

    I didn't have any of those things and was fine. A wedge pillow (if you do sleep in your own bed) can be helpful.

  • Posted to Recovery from Tummy Tuck with Toddler- Advice???? on 27 Mar 2013

    I did it with a 3 year old and a 17 month year old. Honestly, for the first two weeks you will need help. Bathing the kids, lifting them in and out of car, high chaired are not possible. Mine went to day care and when they came back from school I hired a babysitter to help me give them dinner, bath them etc. after week two it got a whole lot better. I used a step stool so they could climb in and out the bath and car and didn't lift them properly until around weeks 4-5. Message me if you have any other questions and good luck.

    My husband went away for 2 days at about day 12. Honestly it was hard. I had a friend come over to lift my baby into her crib and help me bath them. I was driving so had them climb into their car seats and I clipped them in. . It is possible but you need to be very very careful. The tv was my friend with Disney Jnr entertaining the girls (aged 1 and 3). Good luck

    I had to tell my dentist. It's really open plan so I imagine everyone heard. I was mortified. ..he even asked who the surgeon was, drugs taken etc etc etc. The man wouldn't shut up. I'm not ashamed of doing this but do wonder why the man who fixes my teeth needs to know.

    I did the same on treadmill yesterday. Big mistake. I am still so so swollen. It almost looks like I did pre surgery! I guess we will have to be patient. I'm 4 weeks tommorow. I'm going to wait until 6 weeks until I try again. It's just not worth it for the few calories actually burned walking.
