Gonna Make a Change -Mobile, AL

I made it to Hawaii! Doing great. First day without cg. Here I am on Waikiki beach!

I do have these pics that I will share

Saw the ps on 1/24 got a good report, but still not standing straight. He said I should be by now. Mostly cuz I'm not walking everyday, but it's so darn cold. And now we have this "ice" storm that hit lower Alabama. Thankfully it is to melt today. I work on standing straight but my stomach is so tight and I night my stomach feels irritated like a really bad sunburn and standing straight only seems to make it worse, but I'm improving. I will be able to stand straight for pictures! Been wearing a cg, but I swear a man designed it. The hooks in the crotch and barely be reached to hook and unhook and the thigh areas have excess material that while it looks good, it does not function well. Ends up bunched up in my groin cutting off circulation like a twisted pair of support hose. Doc said I would not have to wear 24/7 while in Hawaii, so I'm going to wear something a little more light weight. If I start to swell then I will go back to the torture garment, I mean compression garment ;) I'm not posting any pics cuz I really haven't changed much. Sleeping is some better, still can't sleep on my side well. Right hip still hurts to lay on and thighs are still tender. I guess its just the nerves. I can lay some on my left side but not for long periods. Still use pillows under my knees. I tried to decrease on that, but made my back hurt so bad I couldn't sleep. I have a whole piece swim suit on order for trip since I have to keep bb covered. I do have a two piece, but will have to wear a cover up. Will try to post swim suit pics when I get to Hawaii :) My abdomen is still tender to press on, but I am beginning to feel softer.
