The ups and downs
I feel so much better and am starting to get my energy back but I know I do too much each day. My doctor said I still am not cleared for anything and need to be taking it easy but I fell like myself (if you don't count the slight hunchback and alien feeling tummy). Well yesterday I understood what swell he!! is all about. It was so tight and swollen it hurt. So i tried to take it easy last night and slept in the recliner. I just couldn't get comfortable and went to lean back and tipped the chair over, so here I am at 3 am upside down and screaming for help. Funny stuff. you have to take it all together. I think my swelling is worse because it is "my time".
Starting to feel a little better
I have been full force back to work full time and dealing with three kids and all their activities. I ended up wit a fever on Monday and had to miss work. I slept the whole day. I think it was just my bodies way of telling me I needed to slow down.
I have been rubbing my scar with soap or vitamin e oil like my surgeon told me and it feels so weird. It is still partially numb and tingly and it hurts to rub it as hard as he told me to but I want my scar to look the best it can so I obey the orders.
I have a hard time sleeping and getting comfortable and I go back and forth from the recliner to the bed during the night.
I'm down 6 pounds and 4 1/2 inches in my waist which is really exciting!!!!! Some days I am so swollen though and the left side always seems worse than the right.

Been back to work full time since Monday. I still can't stand up all the way straight so I look like a hunchback walking around. I am a teacher and I can sit most of the
time. I brought a comfortable chair for when the students are working alone and I have told them to come to me for help instead of me walking around. Hopefully next week will be better. It was actually good to get back to work as much as I was scared of it because it helped me feel somewhat normal again. I get tired easy and have to sit after walking for a while but it gets better everyday.
