Dr Lowe is giving me my life back

ORIGINAL POST

So my panniculus is gone. Turns out I also needed a hernia repair. I finally slept thru the entire night last night, first in almost a week. Pain meds isn't quiet enough but I'm also taking some antiflammatory herbs like turmeric and herbs to help me poop like dandelion root. No fevers or redness. Just pain due to the incision being so low into my truck and thigh crease. But he was trying to get off as much skin as possible. Coughing hurts but you have to to prevent pneumonia. I have 4 drains. Some patients on YouTube say don't bother with a recliner but I found it hard to get in and out of my bed so my husband and father ran out and found me one. Super excited to have been able to do the "number 2" since Sun. I was terrified of getting constipated. Drink lots of water. I drink fresh lime water to help with the swelling. Maybe once it's not so painful to remove the compression garmet, I'll add pictures the after.
