34 Y/ Mother of 5 (Triplets Plus 2) - Eau Claire, WI

Wow 3 weeks has gone since surgery. Things are going well. I hate this drain!!! Hate it. The PS says that my fluid numbers need to be below 30 ml for 2 consecutive 24 hour periods. Well for the past week it's been at 30 with the occasional 20.
Trying to find balance of being active and doing to much is a difficult balance for me. I feel good but want to get back to normal.
Because of this drain my pubic area and upper thighs are very swollen. Swell hell is horrible.

Over all doing pretty good! Went out with friends for a 3 hours last night and my poor pubic area was so swollen and sore. Over all I was up to much. I was able to get a drain out today!!!! Not a issue easy peasy!! No discomfort with the removal. Here are some updated pictures.

I'm having a rough day. I'm sure this is part of the healing process. I feel fat bloated over all uncomfortable. My period started today and I hate my drains. Having a pad on and these drains is no where ideal. Tuesday when we were coming home from my post op check their was a guy in the ditch with a person doing CPR on him. I am also trained to do CPR so I stopped and helped. I think I'm still sore from that. Plus today I see his obit in the paper. I feel bad for that.
I took pics today but feel embarrassed about posting them. It's just hard to be positive today. Sorry.
