So I haven't writte for a while because I haven't felt much to update.
I am bang on target with healing and everyday is pretty similar. I am still doing very basic breathing and stretching to avoid bad scar tissue build up but still incredibly stiff and sore. I get muscle spasms in my tummy at night when I stretch my legs which I laugh at as I haven't had a core for over 4 years so it's weird to feel again how your body is connected.
I feel like I am healing slower than most of these other reviews as I definitely do not feel easy. I get really tired still in the middle of the day and feel like I am over feeling so out of my own body.
I am trying 4 sessions of lymph drainage massage which is suppose to help.
Bruising starting to subside but still tender around lipo area's (flanks).
Will post pics when I shower.

Day 5 PO
Not much to report.
Anti biotics and anti inflammatories both finished today.
I am managing the pain with less meds and keep the stronger painkillers for bed time so I sleep as well as possible.
I have had a little weird feeling under my thighs (like little bee stings) and I have a stich in between my breasts on my breast bone which I am not sure why. I have a post op with my PS day 10 PO so will double check then.
I am incredibly swollen and still very black and blue but don't feel neaseus from the pain any more and the anxiety is also decreasing daily.
Aunt Flo also started today and most probably is heightning my sensors.
My husband has been incredible and my family have all just stepped up on every level which is too wonderful!
Still very hunched and feel a little like Frakkenstein but I found my "remember why I did this photo". I got tired of trying to do my yoga and having my inside falling out.
Hope all you mommy make overs are feeling strong!

Day 4 PO
When I left hospital I decided to come stay at my mother in law's house.
It's close to my house and closer to my mom - but the real reason is I am a control freak and at home I would be too busy. Even doing nothing and just sitting sometime is too much at this stage. I was really ready to let go but still find I try too hard to "talk" or be with everyone when I should be lying flat.
I really believe that it's a balancing act of getting up, walking around. Going to the bathroom, get clean, eating and then RESTING - but it's quite hard. Although every evening I feel over did it. I am in increased amount of pain and struggle to get the pain under control.
They have me two sets of painkillers both incredibly strong but the one makes me so spacey and on another planet I prefer to other but it makes one constipated to juggling laxatives and stool softness on top of this is really the cherry on the top.
I am feeling really tired having to have got up lads at night.
But always do what the dr says cause I sometimes listen to too much advice then can't pick the wood from the trees.
Not must to post other than each day slightly easier but still feel like I had been sawed in half and put back together. Going to have a really easy day.
