It seems like my swelling has gone way down. I was awake-wide-awake at 2:30am and could not get back to sleep. Tossed and turned until about 4:30. Got up out of bed and enjoyed a beautiful sunrise with a cup of coffee. It was so nice to have the house to myself, nice and quiet, and reflect and feel the healing process is finally getting somewhere. My god! The last couple weeks were hell. All I can say is pain meds and PMS do NOT mix. I'm so glad to be off of all those drugs, and I think a ton of my bloat/swell was (early) PMS. God bless my husband! As much as I love him, I still believe he was never suppose to be the one to care for me. Over it now and moving on. Actually, I laughed more today than I have in years! I have to be able to take care of things, myself, kids...felt out of control not being able to do it myself when I could see that it wasn't getting done by anyone else. I can't wait to get out of this CG. I think I should be getting a smaller size next time I go in. So next wednesday, hopefully I will have a smaller one that I don't have to roll the top over and the zipper is bunching up because I have shrunk. Yay!

Hi AboutTime7, I relocated to Bend as well and my "network" here is smallish. I was so excited to see your post and see that you are also in Bend. I'm considering a consult with Dr. Gallagher for a TT and would love to hear a follow-up from you now that you're a couple years post-op. Feel free to PM me!

Does anyone know how to make a journal post without it having to post to the TT review site every time?
