9 DPO and I’m feeling good

Hey ladies :) so I’m 9 days in and what can I say.... I’m officially tired of being hunched over!!! Even though you ladies have prepared me for everything thus far..... STILL!!! My back hurt shoot!!! BUT everything else has been great, still doing my rub downs everyday which helps so much... I mix the arnicare, vitamin e and aloe vera together... today I rubbed down with aspercreme w/ lidocaine first then applied the gel&oils and whew...it gave an extra relief too!! I don’t have much pain!! THANK GOD!!! Just tightness, tenderness and stiffness, especially in the back and walk lol... I have this little shuffle but it’s getting better and better everyday :) oh I got one of my drains removed today which felt weird and good all at the same time... not bad at all! So one down and one to go!!! But overall ladies I’m super happy with my results so far... I haven’t taken the tape off my incisions, Doc said let them fall off on their own...so I’m going to listen and not be so thirsty about seeing my navel and scar :) I ICE myself nonstop too thank God for my dad ice pack machine it works wonders!!!
Everyday gets better and I can’t wait to continue to share my progress with you all :)

5 days in (5PO)

Good day ladies and gents (I keep forgetting about y’all so sorry) Day 5 and I’m so thankful I’m doing great... not much pain AT ALL... just making sure my meds on point! Yesterday I did stop using the Hydrocodone I felt a little tight and popped some Tylenol instead. At night I took the Hydrocodone to help sleep through the night with no discomfort of course it worked... I may take that only at night. I’m still in the recliner which is the best right now!! It really helps me, and will help you ladies, so again please invest in one/rent one!!!!! *MUST HAVE*! I’ve been giving myself massages which has made me feel better as well. I mix the arnica gel, aloe Vera and vitamin e together and just rub my belly.. excuse me!!! My stomach :) down! I officially don’t have a rlly anymore lol :) but yes I rub my stomach down for a good 6-10 minutes morning and night. I also keep a ice pack going 24/7 whenever I sit down I ice... what else can I say...I’m making sure I walk walk walk.. oh my drains are doing good... it’s not draining much at all...so that’s why I say it’s a good thing...yesterday I logged twice once in the a.m and the other in the evening around 10 and had less than 25 both times... so again pray that’s a good thing and they take out one at least next week... my appt is Wednesday! Of course that would be awesomeeeeeee! Am I missing something ladies? Let me know, you can ask questions that’s how I learned! I attached some pics :) check me out y’all :) STAY ENCOURAGED THIS WILL NOT ALWAYS #beautyispain #painisbeauty
