Minus One Drain
WORTH IT$7,000
Got one of my drains out today. Yay! It was a piece of cake. Recovery is going great. I'm not standing 100% straight yet but getting there. Thought I'd be able to do a little work from home this week but haven't really been able to muster the energy. I do go back to work on Monday though. I'm so ready but at the same time I soooooo don't want to. Hope I can make it the whole day. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it though. One more week off would have been good. I've been improving each day so I'm sure by the time Monday rolls around I'll be A-OK. ;-) All in all I'm still pleased with how everything has been going. Excited for the weeks to roll by so I can see the final results and start planning my BA, cause you know that's what's coming next! lol

Made it!
Just wanted to let everyone I made it just fine to the flat side. I'm not in a lot of pain, just super sore. Drains aren't too much of an annoyance but I am already ready for them to come out. I'm super happy I did this! No regrets!

Awesome. I'm four hours post op and feeling good. Hopefully that'll last for both of us! Don't wanna see my incision though...ugh! Have you seen yours?

Yay! Glad you're feeling good. I haven't really had a good look at my incision (it's covered with tape) but it is nice and low and seems to be healing nicely. My back aches like crazy, that's pretty much the only "pain" I have. I've been taking Celebrex and Tylenol and that eases the soreness. I am sooooooo ready for the drains to come out. Trying to remember to be very patient. I am drinking lots of water and am resting but getting up every hour or so to pee and walk around. So far so good. Be sure to follow your doctors orders and you'll do fine. Happy Healing!

Yay, one more day gone by. Had my first cough...not fun! Started Celebrex today as well. All is good except for extreme soreness!

Oh yeah coughing, sneezing, and laughing hurt like the dickens!!! Ouchy! Keep taking the Celebrex and take you some Tylenol. Both together help ease the soreness. Especially when the back pain sets in. ;-)

I can giggle now without too much pain! Woohoo. But am getting tired of the couch potato routine already! Do you have drains? Mine have almost stopped already two days in...

Good on ya. Yes, I two have drains. Fluid output decreases each day. I know it's only been a few days but I can't wait to get them out. I am tired of being a couch potato too but I keep reminding myself, the more I chill, the faster I recover.

Day of treatment
Made it to the flat side!
My doctor is amazing. My sister said he said removed a little over a pound. Muscle separation was bad; as if I had carried twins. I have been resting and going for small walks around the house. Had a little something to eat and now I'm back in the bed resting, about to go back to sleep. I get to take a shower tomorrow. Cool. Happy Healing everyone!
