I just made this pic so I thought I would share.

Recovery is going well, actually better than I anticipated. I'm very mobile, standing upright and posture is almost completely back to normal. My back doesn't get tired anymore either. I can sleep in my bed, on my back or on my side. I still prefer my recliner though. :)

I would say my energy is about 90% as well. It's the swelling that gets me. I went back to the office Monday and went to the gym after. It wasn't too bad. However by the time I got off work Tuesday I felt like a stuffed pig. Wednesday that feeling came around 1pm. So I worked at home today and going to work at home tomorrow to stay off my feet.

Like I said, I started back at the gym. Luckily my trainer is very familiar with surgery rehab. I'm taking it super easy, focusing on mobility and doing some TRX body weight exercises. It's boring but I know it's what I need right now. It's nice to get out, see my friends and get moving.

Scar treatment is going well. The tape irritates my skin a tad. I'm going to order the silicone sheets my PS recommended to try them out.

I am including pics for progress. I'm also posting a pic of the supplements I'm taking. Hope this helps.

I am a couple days past my two week mark. I sent updated pictures to my PS (I'm an out of town patient). They said everything looks good. I was instructed to remove the surgical tape and start scar treatment. I'm to continue wearing the binder until next check in which is a month out. I'm getting pretty annoyed with the thing but I'm following the doctors orders.

I pulled my surgical tape off in the shower Friday and almost passed out. I have a little spot on my TT incision that looked like a hole. I wasn't sure if I ripped my incision open or what but it got me light headed and I almost passed out. My husband says it's just a wrinkle with old iodine in it. I sent pics to my PS and the nurse said it looks like my skin got irritated under the tape. She said don't put the scar gel on that part until it dried out.

The regiment for scar treatment is silicone sheeting during the day and scar gel at night. The PS recommended some items from a website. I got some Mepitac silicone tape before surgery though so I tried that out. I don't know what happened but last night (first day of scar treatment) I took the tape off and put the gel on as instructed. I put a tank top on and then the binder on over my tank so I didn't get gel all over my binder. Well I went to go take pull my binder up so I could wipe the gel off that little "hole" on my incision and my tank top was stuck to my entire TT incision!! I don't know if it was tape residue or the gel. It freaked me out. My husband and sister saved me by putting warm water all over the tank top. It came right up.

So I went ahead and ordered the silicone sheeting that my PS recommended. I'll keep using the Mepitac until it gets here. Hopefully no more sticking tank tops.

I've had a pretty easy recovery but yesterday tested me. I can't complain though because it wasn't that bad.

I'm sharing my two week pics and the scar treatment stuff I talked about.
