TT Before my Hubs is Home from Deployment! - Williamsville, NY

Doing pretty well! The ripping feeling has pretty much stopped, and the surgical tape is beginning to come off of the incision. Woot! My scar is going to be so small! I'm so impressed with my surgeon. I think I overdid it today when I had to lift my toddler into his carseat... Praying I just stressed out the muscle and didn't do any damage. But otherwise, i think I'm doing pretty well! Almost standing up completely straight and haven't had to take a pain pill! Woohoo!

It's going pretty well! I'm almost kind of sort of not really standing up straight. I have two babies just under 2 1/2 so today I started changing diapers again, did the dishes, etc... Feels good to be moving again even though I'm sore. I had my post op yesterday, my binder was taken off. I'll up up some pictures! Still have some swelling, but wearing the spanx really helps. By the way, a recommendation, don't buy the spanx with the crotch snap. I thought it'd be good that I didn't have to pull it off my tummy every time I had to go to the bathroom, but it's terrible. I can't get it to snap half of the time, and my vagina keeps trying to eat it. Lol. The colace is doing it's job! Usually I'm pretty backed up, tmi, but the colace is helping. I'm going to start weaning myself off of it slowly. I took only Tylenol and my arnica today, no pain meds needed, thankfully. Arnica is AWESOME! Definitely helps with the swelling... I'm having a hard time with sugar cravings. I ate two and a half donuts today! Ugh. I'm definitely going to stop that... I think the sugar is my comfort. I still have a popping feeling on the one side of the incision quite a bit, but the doc says that's fairly normal so hopefully that will begin to fade as well. Can't wait for the swelling to go away and to see the whole result!
