Quick update, went to see my PS for another PO appt. I was hoping for a quick and easy recovery and think it's happening! It's going great, actually. Got my 2nd drain removed today. Yay, not more drains! PS says BA looks great, just need to keep massaging the boobs. The way he did it sure was painful! He says BB is healing great, and TT incision looks great too! Looks like I'm on the happy road to healing! Of course, I'm still on my meds. Hang in there, ladies! Happy healing!

Today I went to my PO appt. Nothing special. They just cleaned me up and put new dressings. PS said I was able to take off my CG whenever I had to use the bathroom which is relief cuz those bulbs are a pain! That's it for now feeling a little sleepy again. Posting pix now. Happy healing ladies!

Went to see my PS today since my left drain only put out about 5ml over the last 24 hrs. He was able to take it out. Yeah! One less drain. He also said I can only stand or lay on my back and not to pressure on the TT incision. That's it for now just really quick updates. My PS instructed my DH in inject me with Lovenox which is a blood thinner. Boy did that sucker burn. He's given me 3 three out of 5 doses. PS he didn't have to continue anymore. So happy for that! Another thing, when they were removing one of my drains they had to inject the area with something like lidocaine or something. That sucker stung/burned too! Happy healing ladies!

I'm glad things are going well. For me the Milk of Magnesium (MOM) with the stool softners was a blessing while I was taking the pain killers. Otherwise, the constipation hell sets in quickly. You are looking really good. Best wishes on a speedy recovery.

Thank you, CLT! I really didn't have too much of a battle with constipation, thank goodness! It was recommended I start something like Benefiber or Metamucil 5 days pre op. I also took the stool softener. But what really did it for me was the suggested Dulcolax by my PS. Excuse me it might be TMI but I think I had 4 BM's that day. That's stuff worked!

Ah yes. The elephant. I know him well. I think he sat on my chest for about a week. His brother was sitting on my stomach. Try to keep taking those deep breaths.

My PS gave me one of those breathing apparatus' with a tube and there's a ball at the end in a cup you have make move up by inhaling. It's suppose to help with pneumonia. I'm suppose to breathe through that 4 times a day.

Wow! I did it! Woke up at 6:30 this morning cua I forgot to shut off my alarm clock. So far so good though. My DH gave meds. Boy do I love that Percocet! Had to get out of bed to go pee. Can I say OUCH! And it does feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest. Overall I think I'm ok. Yeah, I'm on the flat side!
