Started back to work, still dealing with swelling...
I Started back at work which isn't too bad at all, except that I get really tired by the time I get home. I also noticed that I have more swelling (esp in the upper abs) by the evening. Some days are more sore than others. Today, I got a sore spot in the upper right area. Just rubbing my hand over the area is sore and I can almost pinpoint the sport that hurts. I don't know what to think. I am using my Vitamin E on my scar and Belly button. I also seem to still have some stretch marks under the belly button that I guess aren't going to get better but we will see.
WEEK 5
This week I had a follow up with the nurse practitioner, She said everything looks good, I have a hard knot at the top of my abdomen that at first thought was a suture from underneath. She said now it could be that or a blood clot that just has to resorb itself. I felt much better this week soreness and tightness wise. I also started using aquaphor and vitamin E on my scar and skin around my belly button. I no longer have to sleep with my spanx! yay! and I don't need them if Im just laying around watching tv etc. I can lift over 5 lbs. but still not allowed to pick my daughter up from a standing position ( she weighs 21lbs) hopefully at my next follow up in 4 wks Dr. Vastine will let me start picking her up. I have been doing a little more and am more confident. The swelling is worse in the evenings and I get worn out by the time I get home from work. I am very happy things are coming along nicely.
