Week 6

It has been one long recovery but so far it has been worth it. I fit into pants thatI never would have fit into before. I returned to work three days ago and I feel great. Today is raining and I feel swollen and sore like never before. I started using a scar cream and I hope it really helps. I am scared to start the gym as I feel so much tightness from the incisions. I guess I can try next week.
I am going up stairs without difficulty and walking better. I am very happy because I am feeling bit more like myself with every passing day.

4 weeks in and yet more incision separation.

Yesterday was my 4th week post op and I am feeling much better. I am trying to stay positive but it is difficult seeing that I have yet two more incision separations. I will say that the first one seems to be getting better but the two new ones are quite raw. I feel lots of pressure in between my thighs but no pain. I still take Tylenol at night because in the middle of the night I do feel swollen and get aches in the incisions. I am walking more but still don't feel confident getting into and out of my Jeep since I find it high. I am considering asking the doctor if I could return to work a week early since I feel able to. I much rather use a week on a fun vacation on a tropical island than being at home bored out of my mind. I have an appointment this Monday and I will be meeting with my Plastic surgeon for the first time since surgery on 8/9/17.

Feeling worried and discouraged

I had a very difficult time with constipation last week and needed an Enema. I had 13 days without going to the bathroom. I was feeling much better until Sunday morning when I saw incision separation on the left thigh. It was small but yesterday when I looked it was bigger. The nurse said separation is expected 100% of the time and not to worry as my the color of the tissue indicated that I am healing fine. She instructed me to cover it with a non-adherent pad until it looks better. I must see the surgeon in two weeks for the first time since surgery on 8/9/17. He is super popular and seeing him is often difficult. I just hope to not have anymore setbacks. I am currently afraid move around and have this happen in other areas. I need to start seeing the light!!!!!!! ????
