Shower and driving 13 days post op

I got to shower finally 7 days post op. I was extremely dizzy and nauseous. in fact the dizziness continued up until abut 12 days post op for me when I take the binder off. I drove for a long way today for the first time and I am beyond stiff and my tail bone/lower back hurt. wondering if I am ever going to feel normal again. I go back Thursday for my 2 week checkup and hopefully after this weekend I will be feeling a little more like myself. Funny thing is even though I still hurt I keep checking to make sure my butt is still there haha. Oh and as far a pain meds go I backed down to tylenol only during the day and Percocet at bedtime right at a little over 1 week post-op. Will try to get new pics posted this weekend after I see if more of the swelling has gone down.

Behind on posting again

These pics are from 6 days post op. I am still pretty swollen but overall I am happy with the results. Man was the Dr correct though when he said it will be a roller coaster of emotions. I have gone from being irritated with the binder, to having the giggles, to crying and then depressed because I feel I should be able to whatever I want by now. The most painful part I am dealing with at the moment is my lower back other than that I am not hurting too bad.

2 days Post op

Today I am feeling it. I am hurting and irritated with the binder. Definitely feeling the roller coaster of emotions the nurses were warning me about. I would cry just because my binder felt too tight in one area or was too lose in another. I did get up and walk a little and went for a short ride just get out and get fresh air. Still have not seen much under the binder. I go Thursday to get drain removed.
I keep feeling to make sure its still there. We did not want to go huge but get a little projection. still too soon to tell what it will look like in the end. still really swollen on the sides as well.

So far I have just had the consultation and the pre-op appointment and both were great. This Dr. is very honest and upfront about everything and makes you feel very comfortable. Love him and his staff! Will write more later.
