Day 3
I was finally discharged from hospital this morning. In Australia the average stay is about 3 days. All I was waiting for was the good news that I had less than 20mls in my remaining drain, and I did. The nurse removed that and I was on my way home.
Had a BM almost as soon as I got home, must have been the familiar surroundings ;)
I think I may have overdid it a bit today, not that I was up doing a dance or anything, but I'm feeling really good, I have more pain in my hunched back than my belly.
May have done a bit too much walking around the house, although I did start watching the 3rd season of Orange is the new Black, so there was a reasonable amount of couch time too. I don't have a recliner but the couch is ok, either sitting straight or with my legs up and a pillow under my knees. My butt is getting very sore of being in the same position, can't wait to be able to sleep on my side!

I hope your recovery goes well! I'm 10 weeks post op & love my results. It's been a difficult recovery for me but I read about other women with worse struggles than mine. Take care of yourself, don't overdo it & try to be patient for complete healing!
My photos & reviews are under HCrossan59. This account happened recently by accident. Not sure how or how exactly to fix it. My name is Elaine.
Thanks Elaine, I'm feeling really good, so good in fact that I have to remind myself to not over do it and take it easy. How's your recovery?

Day 2
Yay, I had one of my drains removed today, much more mobile. Am able to get up and go to the toilet by myself, it's a bit of a shuffle, a hunched one at that, but by myself!
I'm having a TT this coming Monday 26th, with Dr Lawrence, I can't wait.
Could you please post an updated photo?
