Healing nicely. There is a lot of drainage bruising, but this is mostly not actual bruising and does not hurt. Everything on my legs, side hips, and forearms is just for show, there’s no pain in those areas. The smaller bruises around my abs and biceps are painful, but not nearly as impressive looking as the decorative ones elsewhere.
I’m feeling better and moving around more, but still get tired quickly. My belly button started to drain a little, so now I’m putting a small piece of gauze and some tape on it after it dries from a shower.

Everything is healing nicely. I was able to see how my abs will be able to move a little today, they’ve been largely numb and immobile except for when I move too fast or in the wrong way then I get a firm tugging sensation reminding me to slow down. I have a lot of energy for about 5 minutes then I’m tired and have to go take a nap.
My belly button had some discharge so I went to visit Dr. Levesque, who confirmed it is healing fine but is irritated by the stitches. Since this is was a stainless procedure, my body is also looking for places to drain as needed, and that’s the main one. I also had a stitch or 2 by each of my elbows from the lipo cannula, which were ready to come out.
I’m having a good amount of internal drainage down my legs with some volume but mostly looking bruised, although it’s not bruising. It doesn’t hurt or anything, but I was amused at how well the colors coordinated with my knee pillow so I am posting a picture.

Overall doing well. I’m seeing/typing straight which is good, and mostly coherent. I have some draining bruises on my legs mostly. They aren’t bothersome, just worth noting. I am continuing with lots of arnica, dry brushing and lymphatic massage when scheduling permits.
I feel like I have a lot of energy, but after about 10 minutes it’s gone and I’m back to bed. Oh well.

Sleeping on a recliner was really bad for my back, so I moved back in bed after 2 nights I think. I still am sleeping on my back with a pillow under my knees, but I’ve stopped waking up for meds in the night and have stopped taking anything that would make it unsafe for me to drive.
I feel like I have a lot of energy now when I’m in bed, but then 5 mins later I’m exhausted and back in bed.
I’ve had some lymphatic drainage massage, a big bottle of arnica oil, bottle of bio freeze, skin brush and heating pad.
I have since learned you can rent a hospital adjustable bed for a few hundred a month, if I were to do it again I would absolutely get one of those to stay in for at least a week.
