WORTH IT$14,000
Made it through a full day at work (Friday) along with staying extra because we were so busy. Felt about 50% better on Friday than on thursday. I am in a class today for about 6 hours which will include doing CPR - not sure how doing compressions on a manaquin (sp?) will go but gotta do it! I'm off Sunday (yay!) so I will rest up.
I am really really swollen at the end of my shift but by the next morning most of it is gone. I still have residual swelling but the extra from working is mostly gone. Still very numb on abdomen - strange feeling! I am still wearing a cg - but not the abdominal binder. I bought a couple of bali undergarments that seem to work well and are easy to wear. I need to pick up some more so that I am not doing laundry every other day!
I will post more pictures in the next couple of days.

Back to work today - scheduled for 8 hours and worked about 5.5 hrs. I was able to leave early - we had enough staffing. My job requires me to be on my feet for most of my shift. My back was really hurting - I am still not standing straight up so it puts extra pressure on my back. Tomorrow I am doing charge nurse so hopefully I will be able to sit a bit. On Saturday I have a class to renew my advanced cardiac life support for 8 hours, a christmas party for work that night AND a soccer game for one of my girls! I will probably pass on the party and soccer game...

Well, I survived the surgery! My goodness, I am so sore where I got lipo and TT. My BR isn't huring that badly. The pain meds help....I'm sleeping quite a bit.talk moe later.
how was work!
My back is killing me too! I have to go back to work Monday (10 dpo) and I am not sure how long I am going to be able to make it myself! I use the heating pad, but it doesn't seem to be helping, except when I am sitting! :( We'll make it eventually! How many dpo are you?
I'm 4 weeks post op. I still have a hard time standing straight. I think that is my biggest problem. Good luck on monday!

The spot under my left breast was nothing to worry about - not an infection - Yay!
I am now down 6 lbs from pre op weight - my appetite is not great so I went to the grocery store yesterday to purchase higher protein items to help with healing - now if only I had an appetite!
I return to work tomorrow - :( don't want to but have to. We will see how it goes...
