Feeling good. Pain managed by Motrin. Energy levels coming back. Will continue to take it easy to keep swelling in check. Having a very hard time with insomnia. Cannot sleep, even with Advil PM. I just lay awake for hours. Hoping tonight I will zonk out. No naps today. Happy healing and a special nod to pumpkin for an easier recovery in your second week than you had in the first.

Thanks so much red tango! Your posts keep me motivated and positive. I keep tracking you to see where I will be in a few days. I am 4 days PO today and doing great. I will update my review later. As for the insomnia that is really hard! I know the feeling and it is miserable...staring at the ceiling and the clock, frustrated that you're not a sleep. Are you sleeping sitting up or are you able to lay on your back or side. I have always been a tummy and side sleeper so I miss that! Have you tried melatonin? It's natural and I have used it when I travel to get my clock back on track. Also getting out and getting some fresh air during the day might help...although that might be hard with the storm coming in tonight!

You look fantastic!!!! I'm still not used to my new body. Case in point, I bought a dress in a medium and it just hangs on me. I'm now a small. I haven't been a small since 1975!! LOL Keep up the massages and garment.

Glad you are healing well! How is the pain level for you today? Have you had any lymphatic massages?

Hi Lily. Pain has been manageable. Up and down. I've been thinking about lymphatic massage and may look into it next week. Have you done this?

No - my tt is scheduled for late January and I'm going to Mexico (combination of reasons, but mostly because I want the nursing care post-surgery). Definitely interested in getting the massages when I'm home again, let me know if you find someone local that you like!

Have you looked into this yet? Just curious what the benefits are and if you have found someone local who does this type of message

I found a place in the Bronx. They also sell the compression garment. The lymphatic massages are a specific type of massage. It drains the liquid in your body by urination or sweating.

Just keep wearing the compression garment. It will shape your body. Keep up the good work!!
