1st shower killed me! I hope it gets easier!

Today I'm 8 days Post op. feeling good as I got my drains out yesterday and doctor cleared me for regular showers. So I ended up trying it out today with my hubby's help. OH BOY BIGGEST MISTAKE! :( I'm REALLLLLLLLYYYYY swollen so when I took my binder off and got in the shower I cried so much! I felt like I was going to pop! It was my 1st time without my binder and I felt horrible without it! The back pain was horrible from standing and yet I couldn't sit because I felt that it I sat I would pop at my "seams". When I finally sat down after putting on my binder I cried for almost an hour! I hope it gets easier to shower!

I'm finally on the flat side! I'm so happy! Although the pain is kicking my butt, I'm still very happy! I go home today and I can't wait to see my 2 princesses.

So I don't even know how to feel right now! I'm doin a lot of nervous cleaning and shopping :). I bought carpet spot remover, problem is, I have hardwood floors through out my entire house lol! I did this kind of shopping when my hubby was in Iraq the second time. I guess he is going to have to return a lot of items while I'm napping :) I'm excited to finally be so close to my day!, but hella nervous to say bye to my two little girls (6 & 1). I think I've got everything ready for my recovery. I was freaking out thinking about what I forgot, but I figure if I forgot something, my hubby can just run out and get it. He took 10 days leave and my mom took 2 weeks after he goes back, so I think I'm covered in the caretaker department. I have to be at te hospital at 6 am and even as I type this it feels completely surreal! Well I guess I have to get back to nervous cleaning :)
