Drains out!
$6,800
My drains came out on Friday.
Thank God! Since my drains have been out I def feel so much better. I think I have a dog ear and I had a bulge on my upper ab and though I messed up my muscle repair. When I got to the doctors office I was , Evil!
I wasnt intentionally my the drains were freaking me out and the thought of possibly going through surgery was just horrifying.
Praise God, the bulge was simply swelling from the muscle repair and I did get the drains out.
I will post a photo soon.

Had tummy tuck...
Had the procedure on the 6th.
It hurt something horrible.
I was only taking one pain pill the first 24 hours every four hours unlike the directions called for which is, two every four-6 hours.
I haven't looked at tummy yet.
Drains are still filling with liquid.
Follow up on Monday.
If I get drains out, I will post a photo.
Getting up is painful and def coughing.

The good and bad news...
My PS office called today to reschedule my appt for the 6th of August instead of the 2nd! Of course I'm livid because I have a trip planned to go to Alaska on the 24th of this month, New York in August, and Miami in, October.
Also, My BFF is coming back from Alaska with me for a week and I needed her to be the one who helped me! That was the whole point of waiting until next month. I would have done the TT with the branchioplasty if I had known that he was gonna not be available on that date.
I'm considering Postponing my, Alaskan trip and seeing if I can get the procedure done sooner.
The only problem is that I don't have anyone to assist me. (That's one of the challenges about being so damn independent)
After the cost of these darn trips and the surgeries I seriously doubt that I can afford to stay at the hospital that prob cost an arm and a leg! (Hahaha literally)
Sparking of arms, yea... My right arm ain't looking that much different than before. I mean seriously the left looks like a baby's arm and the right looks damaged! I'm pissed!
The good news-
I'm gonna still have the surgeries so if I have to get a reduced refund from my Alaska plane ticket and use that money for the hospital stay then that's what I'm willing to do. Alaska will still be there but me having the time, money, courage, and focus to "be repaired" may not be all available at the same time for a while!
Here's a photo of what I'm now obsessed with fixing, ASAP!

Congratulations on your decision and good luck to you! I hope everything works out, and that your friend will be able to come help you after surgery. You will definitely need some support during that time.

Thank you. Yea, one thing I am pretty confident about is that with the Tummy Tuck I'm def gonna need some support at least for two days. The arm lift was different because the pain pills, Nuycinta knocked the aches out immed.
The stomach is a different animal.
