3 weeks and major set back!

WORTH IT$17,300
So I went back to work Thursday night.. 12 hour night shift as an emergency room nurse.. So needless to say by end of my shift I was sore and swollen.. Not feeling too bad surprisingly.. Came home and fell asleep waking about an hour later in the worst pain I have ever felt and couldn't catch my breath.. Thought maybe working just caught up to me and I was a little panicky.. Texted hubby telling him.. Of course he was in a training class for work 2.5 hours away.. Took my narcotic and tried to wait it out but pain was getting worse.. Called several friends to take me to the ER.. About to call 911, but found someone.. Well after testing and a CT scan I was scheduled for emergent surgery... Appendicitis! So another night stay in the hospital.. Just got home few hours ago.. Feeling so down and depressed.. I'm back at square one again.. Not to mention an incision above my tummy tuck incision..

Oh my goodness! I am so sorry you were having such pain after all you have already gone through with the TT. Please know that you CAN get through this, after all, you already did! Hang in there, it can only get better from this point. Sending you best wishes for a rapid recovery!
Thank you! I know, it sucks starting over with recovery.. But it could've been way worse.. Or something wrong with the tummy tuck.. I was just excited to be back at work and being "normal" again.. But I'll be back on my feet again soon!
I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. I hope this recovery goes quick and you are up again soon.
Thank you!
Oh no! So sorry to hear - what luck! You look amazing, though!! I'm also a mom of 3, including a set of twins, looking at getting a tummy tuck this year. Your results are very encouraging and I wish you the best with your recovery.
Thank you and good luck! The tummy tuck is so worth it! Was planning on posting 3 week pics.. But I will be posting when I'm feeling better :)
Oh no! So very sorry to hear this. I remember having mines removed when I was about 14. That pain was awful until it was removed. Just think, at least you will not be down as long as with this procedure and you still look good!!!! Good luck to you and feel better soon!
Thanks! The pain was terrible! They had to do an open procedure since laparoscopic wasn't possible.. Feeling better today so think I'll bounce back pretty quick!
Omg...you poor thing. Try not to let it mentally set you back...thankfully it was nothing more serious. Hugs!!
Thanks! I know I'm trying to be positive about the whole thing.. Just stinks to be back in bed again and taking pain meds.. But it's temporary and I'll be back to myself soon! Just glad my hubby is so supportive :)

Been busy!

Haven't updated in awhile.. All last week I was on my own with my twin 3 years olds and my one year old.. Able to take them to their weekly activities (dance and swim class).. I hit my 2 week post mark this past Friday.. Had my 2nd post op appt.. Said I'm doing great, don't need to come back for a month!! Over the weekend took my girls on a 3 hour trip to see my parents.. Got to attend my best friends baby shower too :) I'm so glad I haven't had any major problems with recovery and able to do things I normally would! I still get tired and swollen by the end of the day.. Most of my scanning has fallen off and scar is looking good :) hope everyone else is doing well too! Will post new pics soon!

Little nervous!

So tomorrow hubby is back to work and I'm home alone with the kiddos.. Hoping for a smooth day.. Still not sure how I'm going to manage my 1 year old.. My 3 year old twins have ballet in the morning.. I'm going to have to pick her up to get her in/out the car seat.. Scared how that will go.. She's double the weight I'm allowed to pick up.. Wish me luck!

Hopefully you can nap with your 1year old! Do you think it might be possible to ask your 3 year olds to try to get in their seats themselves? Maybe if you make it a game/challenge they might surprise you? Wishing you the best!
Thanks! I'm sure I will be fine.. Luckily my husbands office is right around the corner if I do need help! And if things go really bad the daycare they go to has drop in spots..
Hope everything goes smoothly. Maybe the teacher or front desk staff can help you? My 3 year old was practicing getting in and out of my SUV a month prior. Only bad part is when its raining... (I have 2 older kids to help me though) good luck !!
So far so good today! Thanks!
I hope your day went fabulous with the babies
