Just thought I would post a few pics. I'm in swell hell everyday, since I'm unable to wear any type of CG due to the clots at this time. Even with the consent swelling I still see a little progression. Prayers up.

Thank u Thank you
Hi My Sisters, I just wanted to say Thank you to you all for all the well wishes n prayers. I'm finally home n never knew how good it felt to sleep in one's own bed. I need to send a special thank u to CoffeeAddict who was always just a phone call and text away with nothing but uplifting words.
I'm not exactly out of harms way I'm still dealing with the blood clots, which I'm being told could have happened at anytime time n were not necessarily due to the surgery but I had other factors like being over weight, birth control, n my vitamin B 12 levels. The reason I'm posting so much is because I want everyone to know this could have happened to anyone. All I can say is when u feel something funny/different/unusual whatever term u want to use don't be afraid to go to the emergency room. I sat home for almost a week knowing something was wrong, when I finally got checked into the hospital I was admitted in the Critical Care unit trust me it's not worth it get up and go!!!!!! Thank u again for all the well wishes n prayers! !!! Prayers up

No. Not even close .I'm POD8 and still very hunched over. Strangely, I can walk at a normal speed, just can't stand up straight. My PS nurse said 10 days-2 weeks is normal to start standing upright but then you can't do it for long. People look at me really odd- a reasonably young women walking like a 90 year old!! Otherwise, I've had a really easy recovery.

Just make sure and pay attention to that. Sometimes swelling in one leg needs to be checked out by the doc!!! I'm sure u r PERFECTLY fine...but, just rest and stay alert for any pain in that leg!!! Ur gna b one hot lady!!!

Yea, contacted the Nurse the doctor will see me Monday morning. The leg hurts so bad I can't even lift it by myself to elevate it, is real hot to the touch.

If there is any redness to it, in my opinion you should go to ER to get ruled out for blood clot in that leg. I'm not trying to scare you, but I'm a nurse practitioner / midwife and what you ate describing is concerning for a blood clot. More so if there is redness. But swelling, redness, tenderness are all signs that point toward blood clot.

So sorry to hear that you are having a hard time. This is hard enough without adding more to it. :( When you are ready to wear your binder again get a soft, seam free tank or t-shirt to wear under it, this will keep it from rubbing. =) I also did some light icing to help with swelling and pain. you have to be careful since the re is quite a bit of numbness and you could over ice and freeze the skin! I know it doesn't help now but "this too shall pass" and in a few weeks you'll be feeling so much better. I promise!

Thanks YogaGirl444. ... I have been doing the icing especially on my lower back n left thigh and it does help, for me just feeling something cold makes me feel a little better.

I've been worried about the problem in your leg. What did the nuse say?? I went today for a post-op and found out my binder is a size too small!! No wonder my fingertips are tingling- the circulation is cut off! Did they give you foam to put under the binder? Mine uses foam inside the binder for the first two weeks- supposed to keep everything smoother and prevent fluid accumulations. Hope you're feeling better!
