Feeling really good today. Had my first night at home and very pleased to say that I slept in my bed and had a really good sleep. Woke up this morning and was able to go for bm!! Bonus.

Really not in much pain but keeping on top of pain meds so it doesn't build up. Moving around regularly to keep everything mobile. The nurse called to see how I was doing and to warn about pain meds causing constipation, so lots of fluids which I'm doing plus continuing to take stool softeners and lots of fruit and veg.

Really happy with progress so far, and I'm a firm believer in positive thoughts so happy healing everyone! Xx

Hi Mamma, stay positive, you know that, and it really helps. In your own bed and a good sleep already, what a bonus. Just relax and take things easy now as your body is trying to over the effect of trauma from surgery. It is very important at this time to keep hydrated as this will help with BM as well as letting the body get rid of swelling liquids. The first sign of dehydration is usually a headache, so if that happens, up the fluid intake. Take plenty of photos as they are great to look back on . Keep positive and happy healing.

Well I'm home and feeling okay. The drains were removed first thing ths morning, and won't lie that did hurt, had oxygen to help get through it. Mainly stinging burning pain but didn't last long. Managed to get a quick pic tho!!! Had a 2 hour drive home that wasn't too bad.

Just trying to keep on top if my pain meds and make sure a walk about every couple of hours. Being well looked after by my mum.

The hard bit will be not peaking again until my follow up apptment on Friday. Need to rest and take small steps on my road to recovery!

Hope everyone else is doing okay xx

Well I am on the flat side, having had op yesterday morning. All went well and not had too much pain would, describe it as strong discomfort around a 4 to 5 out of 10. In hospital for 2 nights so being very well looked after.

Mr mayo has been lovely, lovely manner and makes you really at ease. From what I've seen he has done a fantastic job too!!!

Had a problem with the drains not working which meant they had to be replaced, so I had a sneaky peak of my tummy which looked AMAZING!!! Can't wait to see it properly. Didn't get time to take a pic tho :-(

Feeling quite human and really positive for happy healing. Plan for today is sitting in chair and walking down the ward, and hopefully have a bm.

Hope everyone else is going well. And I'll post pics as soon as I can [RS bleep]
