Day 4

Apr 11, 2010

Today is better.  Everyday is better!  I can get used to every day being better than the last!  Today I have almost no soreness on my body which has left me able to feel my tummy better.  My tummy is a little sore after all, and more sore after I exercise although I've been trying to make sure not to exersize the tummy muscles themselves just yet.  I did some strength training and some step for 10 min, went for a walk and did some extra wii strength training.  I feel guilty if I don't exercise, which is maybe good to keep me doing it.  

I do think there is a possibility that my one incision in the front is infected.  It hurts a little and it's red around it.  It doesn't hurt around it though and it's still itchy.  The rest aren't red around them and they look really good.  They all itch, which I think is healing.  Tomorrow morning I'm calling my Dr. and asking him what he wants me to do.  I can't see him though until at least Thursday because I was told not to drive  until at least then and he's 1.5 hours away.  Even if it is, antibiotics should fix me so I'm not too worried.  

They used this stuff called dermaband or something like that to seal my incisions and I love it.  Last time I had staples, which came out and my skin popped open (from the gall bladder surgery) and that was icky and scary.  This stuff seems pretty awesome. Yay for no staples!  I can't wait to see how much even better I feel tomorrow. :)
