Tummy tuck with breast lift

Had my surgery this morning. Tummy tuck with breast lift. Super nervous. I couldn't sleep two days before surgery. I would try to eat and my nerves were so bad that I felt sick each time I ate. Arrived at the hospital 6a and had wait till 6:36a to go in. My boyfriend wasn't allowed to be with me due to the COVID-19, which made everything 10x's more scary. I was marked up by 8:30 something and was told they started the procedure around 10:30a. The PAIN woke me up at 1:40p on the dot. Omgs, the pain rushed in like a tsunami. The nurse was very understanding and got me some morphine in through my I.V. , which helped with comfor but not the pain. Its about 7:15 and its time for my 2nd dose of pain meds. I can't get comfortable at all. I'm taking cat naps and the bandage that's wrapped around me hurts just as much as procedure itself. I think its to tight but the doctor knew was he was doing, so I'm not going to complain about it. For right now this is only photo I'm about to take. Its to painful to stand up and take a body photo.

Day 2 and the pain still bad. Today I got my bandages off and seen my body for the first time, it looks amazing! I’m loving the results even though I’m swollen. Walking is my enemy right now. When we arrived at the doctor office I had to use a wheelchair. I told Dr. Bottger about the discomfort and pain I’m having so he up there doses on oxycodone from 1 every four hours to 2 every four hours. He also told me I could take a shower tomorrow, but I can’t even walk upstairs to use the bathroom because of the pain! I been using a cup (don’t judge me) and sleeping on my recliner that I brought off Amazon just for this surgery. My boyfriend gave me a bird bath. He been helping me a lot, I’m blessed that he’s a RN.

Last night I couldn’t sleep. Every time I would fall asleep, I would have a nightmare. So I finally researched the side effects of oxycodone and read that nightmares, and itchiness were one. Today is not a good day. I’m so stiff that I can’t stand up and too sore to try and walk. So you know what that means...I’m still peeing in a cup. Still no bowel movement, which is a great thing since I can’t walk up the steps. I took some pictures last night. I love what I see, even though I’m still swollen. Dr. Bottger did an amazing job!!!
