2 months before and after

Well today marks the end of 8 long weeks, and I never thought I would make it to see it this far.....I'm loving my new self even though I'm a still swollen and in pain from time to time from the TT. I was finally able to go shopping for some new jeans and I'm proud to say that I looked and felt great... Although I'm happy with my size, I do want to tone my stomach a bit more, so as soon as I get clearance I will start exercising and getting my tummy right!!!! Well as far as PE update, nothing has change, still have chest pain from time to time, last night was the worst that I've felt in a long time, but nothing major.....well I'll guess I'll leave RS with some B&A pictures.....enjoy

Pictures

So I thought I would post a picture to let RS see how far I'm coming along....my scar isn't dark like I was expecting, and I'm still really swollen.

5 weeks

So I made it through 5 weeks....I feel like I'm picking up my recovery from where I left off before the PE....
TUMMY TUCK RECOVERY: I'm almost standing up straight, still not flat, but less swollen & my stretch marks are less visible now, I'm still very numb in my stomach, my belly button looks to be healing ok, I have pain in my stomach area from time to time, but nothing a little Tylenol can't handle ...I get up around 4 am and by 5 pm I'm exhausted...

PULMONARY EMBOLISM: I follow up with 2 different specialty clinics next Tuesday, I'm breathing ok now, I still have a little trouble from time to time walking without getting winded....I have occasional chest pain and back spasm, but I can tell that each day the symptoms are getting milder.

Well again thanks for all the continue support, I have managed to write everybody back that has inbox'd me and if I missed anybody than I apologize.

happy healing RS
