12 days post op before bruising

And for perspective this is what my bruising used to look like less than a week ago...Black and blue!

12 days post op

hi all:
My Recovery is going well.
Met with doctor for 1 week follow up. Bruises have gotten better. Using warm compresses and arnica to massage
I think my bruising may be all gone on another week; not bad!!
The sensitivity has reduced.
There is still inflammation so hope to see improvement on results working 3 months.
I do feel tightness and would day say only have 10-20% of numbness remaining on my legs.
I am able to stand for lengthy amounts of time and walk and shop no problem.

So while I can't yet say with certainly this is all worth it I have gotten through the worst discomfort and have a few inches less in me.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Post Op -day 6

improvement today.
I hope yesterday was the peak of the discomfort and swelling.
Last night I felt like my legs were on fire and screaming to get out of my garment. Took a sleeping pill to knock me out... And even that took time.
Today wore my compression socks ($15) at the doctor office and I think they have made a difference!!
I am nowhere near as swollen not sensitive as yesterday.
I pray and trust that I got through the worse provided I continue to care for myself and thank goodness for those compression socks!
Best to all...
