TT, MR finally done

Monday marked 6 weeks since surgery. Have 90% of energy back, but still running low after a 12 hour work day. in the am, no swelling, but continue to swell and feel very tight in the evening, although my husband says he can't tell I'm swollen. Having tight muscles occasionally through the afternoon and evening, feels like painless contractions that will last anywhere from 1-5 minutes. Happy with AM results, looking forward to not having this swell in the evening. Still wearing CG and actually wear a second one on top when Im exercising or working for long periods of time where I will be hunched over (helps with mid and upper back pain). Scar coming along nicely, using medipac tape as well as a moisturizer beforehand.

Very long weekend -lots of activity and probably the most walking since before surgery. Feeling very swollen by the end of the day and it tends to be very uncomfortable. I have noticed if I massage my abdomen with my binder on it takes away some of the discomfort. Scar is healing nicely- not thrilled with bb yet, still feeling boxy, but overall progress. Energy is picking up, although I'm not up to full speed by any means. Some days I feel as if I have turned the corner, other days I feel like week 2. I'm excited to see how I do by the end of this week, as I will be hitting my 6 week mark.

Feel as if it has been a long road to get here. Went back to work this past week, definitely could have used one more week off! Pretty tired all the time, but pushing through and trying to rest when I can. Have started slowly walking on the treadmill and keeping my step goal low (6000 vs 18k before surgery). Have updated photos, ran out of biocorneum and have started using scar away, mepitac tape and massaging the scars. Still hard to cough, laugh or sneeze- have instant spasms. Hope all is ok with everyone else! Will check in next week!
