Baby Got Back...a Little Too Much. - Waltham, MA

any idea what the red spots on my sternum are?

The drainage is almost done. one spot on my right side is being persistent. The two most active incisions at the bikini line seem to have stopped. We shall see.

I took a close up of the largest bruise on my right front/hip. Here is some bruising on my lower back around the two incisions there.

I've been using Arnica gel and taking arnica tablets. This may have helped but it may just be because the upper body doesn't bruise as much as the lower extremities.

the bruising was all gone by Saturday. Not bad, 2 weeks and two days. Now I have the hard areas near the incision sites. I've read that us normal. I LOVE LIVE LOVE being able to wear shorts and not having them ride up because if my inner thighs. They still touch but I'm hoping that will change when the swelling goes down further.

Tomorrow getting my upper and lower belly and my flanks done. I'm actually more nervous about this than Round 1. I think because I vaguely remember some of it, like being asked to move a few times, but I don't remember everything. Wish me luck!!
