Congrats! Looking good. I'm looking forward to 1-2m months PO already and I'm only on day 3. I've been walking upright since the day of surgery. Only problem I have is getting in and out of bed to go to the bathroom. How does your follow up visits work out since you went to the DR to have the surgery?

Okay ladies still updating from my cell haven't had the energy just yet to even bring out my laptop. I'm straight missing homework assignments and everything right now. Anywho I was the first to go in for surgery. And believe me they came and wheeled me in promptly at 555am. Lol I remember these two chicks preparing a syringe and after that they must have stuck me on the low cuz I was out. Now, I did wake up briefly during surgery. I couldn't feel anything and there must have been something in my throat cuz I couldn't say anything either at this point they knocked me back out and I woke again in recovery with this lady saying breathe mamacita. I'm assuming this is because of the muscle repair so you have to get used to your breathing. If I remember correctly the time was now 1p which means my surgery was about 5 hours. I can honestly say that the pain is minimal. I left my hydrocodone at home but I haven't needed them. The worst part of this is the lipo and soreness which make it uncomfortable as hell for you to even move or get up. I hate feeling dependent on someone for my every move, I'm hoping the soreness subsides soon. Just getting out of bed can be a task and so tiring. The cecip clinic was ok, not your average u.s. hospital with the fancy fixings but they get the job done. The staff was okay. There are doctors there around the clock who check on you and etc. the food, eh, it was food. Nothing exciting. The night before surgery they bought me a ham sandwich but I already had Lesley get me a taxi to take me to this restaurant called Adrian's Tropical that I saw on another review. Let me tell y'all it was well worth the trip. I'm a foodie so I couldn't let the chance to hit a restaurant pass me by knowing I may not feel up to it after surgery. Ladies they has a dish called tropical fried rice with shrimp, delicious. And i swear i had some of the best juice ive ever tasted in my life!!! The cabbie took me and even waited for me to eat and only charged me $9.

Omg the fear y'all. I am ashamed to admit it but it is what it is at this point I'm scared as hell!!!!! I think I'm a little unnerved by the language barrier then just being here alone. The vets are right the language barrier is definitely real. Its kinda frustrating and I wish I would've had a bilingual travel buddy or just a sx buddy period. We could be calming each others nerves about now. I have to remember the vets before me who did it alone and the reason why I got on a plane to the DR period. God I know I'm not in church every Sunday like I should be but please Lord guide Dr Almonte tomorrow, please bless her assistants and staff and please bless and hold me in your favor for the rest of my journey. Ok dolls I know this is supposed to be more about informing y'all but I had to make this one about me lol. I'm taking plenty of pics and I will be updating again when I get to my laptop.
