Today is the day, I'm a little worried, but excited at the same time. I know I will be fine with my husband's support. Hoping for a fast recovery! I know I can do this, I'm pretty sure I can do this since I delivered my babies naturally without any pain medication, my kids are all almost grownups now, 22, 18 and my youngest 14, I guess it's time to spoil myself and get spoiled.

A little sore, but not as bad as i though. I was able to drink my coffee and a small breakfast.

Today it's only the fourth day after surgery and my husband had to go back to work. It has been a challenge getting up from the recliner. During the last few days, I've learned to use my arms and legs to pulled myself up, but it's not always easy. It doesn't hurt as much anymore, except for that uncomfortable drain and my doctor said it's not coming out until next week that I go see him again! :(

I'm feeling a lot better, I almost can stand straight. I'm off my painkillers except for Tylenol when I really needed. Things are going great, this morning I was able to sit on my computer and catch up on my e-mail and stuff. The only thing that I dislike is still that drain on the side of my leg! :(

I'm so excited, I get my drains remove tomorrow! Today is my 12th day post-op, im feeling darn good except for my back it's killing me. I'm not standing 100% straight but day by day it gets better!

Finally today I had my drains taken out. My stomach is very sore and my belly button looks scary. Today I was allowed to drive for the first time after 2 weeks. I can tell you for sure I felt all the potholes on the road, a little uncomfortable but I did fine.

Yesterday was my first day grocery shopping, a little exhausted at the end of the evening but I'm getting there. Tomorrow I'm going back to work! Hoping everything goes well for me. My tummy is still swollen, I'm starting to see the scabs falling out. No complications so far which is good. Except for a small dog ear on my left side, hopefully it goes down.

Almost feeling myself now. I started to wear jeans this week and I can tell you that they're loose even though I'm still wearing my garment and I feel great! I guess I'll be shopping for new jeans pretty soon.
