3 weeks post op
Two weeks po.... tearful day today !
Hey :-)
Today is two weeks and one day since surgery.
All in all I'm doing amazingly well, went to the nurse today to have dressings removed and the wound is absolutely great !
There's no sign of infection, all healing together nicely and looking really healthy.
Got hubby to take some pics ..... that's where my day got bad .... I was looking at them and just started crying .... couldn't stop, sobbing and all sorts .
Deep in my mind I know it's just swelling but the bit above the incision on my bottom protrudes so that my back just seems to flow into my bottom in a big shapeless square ! I've always had a lovely arch where my back meets my bottom and I'm finding this really hard to deal with .
It makes me feel like a freak and that I look really weird .
I know I know ..... it's swelling but I'm so worried that this is what I'll end up with once the swelling goes down it's really affected me .
To top it off I look like I have loose skin on my belly .... it's like an overhang again which I'm seriously gutted about , it didn't look like that in last weeks pics or the pics on day 3 post op. It was lovely and smooth ...... again I'm hoping it's just swelling and that the original pic soon after surgery is what I will end up looking like .
All in all I just got very freaked out, down, and scared ..... I guess it all catches up with you .... anaesthetic, bruising pain, immobility, not driving, today's pics and this blooming binder !!
Have included this weeks pics .... at least the bruising on my bottom seems to be getting better ! Xx

One week out dressing change pics !
Bit behind with my review updates but these are pics from last thurs when I had my dressings changed one week after surgery. You can see the bruising and swelling on my lower back. Everything still felt very numb and it's the strangest feeling, when I touch my upper leg my fingers can feel my leg but my leg can't feel my fingers , very odd !!
The binder has to be the most uncomfortable, hindering, annoying thing I have ever worn but needs must and I will do what I have to do !
