Early last week I finally turned the corner. My energy is back and I feel able to do so much more such as taking the kiddos to the park and do some basic chores.
My belly button is still slowly healing, but looks amazing compared to 2 weeks ago. I bought a bikini top before the surgery despite not having worn a bikini in 10 years, I wanted to wait on buying a bottom until I knew what my scar placement would be like, so I tried the top on with some underwear today and I think I might wear a bikini this summer! Crazy to think about!
I have my 1 month PO appointment on Friday and will find out if I can return to work yet.

Had an appointment yesterday to get the belly button stitches out since they weren't ready last week when the incision stitches were removed. The reaction from the bacitracin is improving and my belly button is looking really good right now I think.

Haha I get it - I think that's why some people get addicted to plastic surgery! I'll be glad when I'm all healed up and don't have to worry about breaking myself doing something too soon!

Yes, I do think it's quite the journey. I also know that I couldn't do anything I really wanted to do those first couple of weeks. Today was the best day in terms of cleaning. I got up on a ladder and cleaned all the dust bunnies off the walls and the ceiling fans. Thank heavens!! Hate those damn things !!
I think plastic surgery can be addictive to those of us who are searching for perfection ! Then I think, what good does that do? It just makes other women hate us !!! LOL

LOL! So true! Being a 37yo mom of three has me at peace with being far from perfect for sure...now about those spider veins ;).

Dear Upnorth,
Yes, I have those ugly veins, too. I've been told they are hereditary. I have that fair skin that is very translucent, so they show. I had some removed and treated, and I will most likely do that again. It takes a long time to get rid of those, and they keep coming back.....pesky little devils !!!!

Wearing some spanx under my binder (bc I feel more comfortable with the extra support) and it's really helping with my hip swelling!
