I'm Tired of My Belly Button Winking Through My Wrinkled Belly Skin! - Columbus, GA

I'm very tired today but I have been able to shower and sit at the dinner table to eat with my kids. Now I'm exhausted! My abdomen and hot pocket are very swollen right now. Its like a huge pound of brown meat sausage. Ewwwww! Why wasn't I warned that THAT was going to swell to three times its size? I guess i need to massage that down, too! Lol! I wanted to post photos before I call it a night. Happy recovery!

Here are some photos

So, i'm only two days in and I took a peek :) I'll post the pictures in a second because it is easier for me to type on my laptop than on my phone. This recovery has been uneventful (thankfully). I have been spending time on the couch and in the bathroom. My PS and staff called to check in on me. I thought that was very sweet...it's the little things that make me smile. In any event, I told them my back was hurting and they loaned me a walker! So, now I am getting around much faster. I didn't care too much for showering. It's too messy. But it has to be done! I have slowed down on the meds (Hydrocodene and the other for nausea). I now take them every 6-8 hrs. as opposed to every 4-6 hours. I'm a little bruised and I have swelled (my little hot pocket is 3 times its normal size) but nothing major that would require a call to the PS. I've heard the horror stories about recovery but I (thankfully) have not experienced any of them. Photos coming soon.
