Hey RS fam. Just to keep you all updated, I'm home now. Came on the 20th and after living up on my kids, I ran into that shower so damn quick. I tell you, ap days without a shower is hell to pay. Recovery is slowly progressing. I am still very much swollen but I can definitely see the curves coming through. I will upload a full debriefing of the good the bad and the ugly of my experience and some pics as well in the upcoming weeks. Much love!

Hemoglobin 7.6 this morning, need blood transfusion

Hey dolls, like I've been telling y'all , this week has been absolutely horrible despite the wonderful care I've been receiving at sealily. I just couldn't get with the program. I was constantly nauseated, light headed, halving palpitations and short of breath. I literally couldn't walk five steps without feeling like I was about to past out. I left Ciplas Tuesday afternoon with a hemoglobin of 9.8 and today I returned (4days later) and it's at a 7.6. I am now being re-admitted to the hell floor (4th floor) that I was admitted to the night after surgery, to now receive a blood transfusion. Guess I'm not getting that $230 Deposit back. But I understand my health is more important. I'm just looking forward to feeling better. Because this feels horrible!

I hope you feel better soon. I had a very similar experience at CIPLA. They use the title "nurse" very loosely there. I had to have two blood transfusions - they should help you feel more normal soon.

Thank you loves! I'm currently on my second bag of blood now and I can already feel
The difference. I just love how attentive the folks at sealily RH is. Christine kept saying my lips and palms were very white and pale so she too felt that something wasn't right. I'm just actually glad to be here and be getting the treatment I need. As far as my appt with dr Duran, she pulled out my back drain and two drains that I had at the top of my vagina. She also closed up my gown for the first time since surgery. For those who go to her for a timmy tuck, you will leave with your gown opened. I guess this is to allow decompression over the next few days. Having it closed up was a bit uncomfortable but afterwards I felt better supported. So I think we are finally making some progress!
