Tummy Tuck (not a revision) - Rockville, MD

Recovery is a bit slower than I anticipated. I'm unable to physically return to work resultant of additional fluid in abdomen. Fortunately, I've been able to work from home; otherwise, my days would be quite dreary. My profession fills me with purpose. Though, admittedly I am slightly disillusioned with the extended home stay. Yesterday my PS authorized short "strolls" outside. I will definitely enact this practice immediately. I miss oneness with nature. Anyone else struggling with confinement blues?

I found it helpful to view my peers pre-op shots. Perhaps my images will benefit others. By the way, please forgive any misspellings or prolix you may encounter in my postings. The meds have definitely impacted my cognition.

I hadn't looked at my new navel until my follow up with Dr.T. Quite an interesting experience. Though, I observe significant swelling, I'm quite pleased with the absence of the infamous "roll".....you all know what I mean!

So far pain seems manageable. I was concerned about inflammation but Dr. T assuaged my disconcertedness. My most formidable challenge is remaining still. I typically exercise 6-7 days per week. I love outdoor activities. I will now channel my energy into blogging and reading. ughhhh!
