Plastic Surgery....3 days post-op

Sep 30, 2007

Its day three and things seem to be getting easier.  I can get off the bed by myself and lay back on the bed by myself.  I took a shower today and got to see where they cut me.  WOW it looks painful.  I get tired real easy and like to take lots of naps.  My areas were I am cut dont look to bad, but after the shower and putting the binder back on, I got sick at my stomach.  My mom, bless her heart, has come to my rescue, she put a fan right on me blowing in my face and wiped it with a wet cloth and finally it passed.  We did take some pictures, so I will post them asap!  I just have to wait for my pain pills to wear off.....they are good!!!

As you all know I had my trunk lipectomy Thursday.  I have to tell the truth. When I got to the surgery center and the took me back to my room, they told me to undress and lay on the bed.  I did and the nurse came in to start the iv, I started to freak for a few mins.  I thought oh my God, I dont want  to do this.  I want to go home.  So I started praying......God gave me such a peace and I was fine.  The nurses where great.  Dr Griffin came in and talked to me and drawed on me to mark where he would cut.  The surgery nurses came and got me to take me back, they were great to.  They talked to me and made feel real comfortable and the drugs helped too!!!  They explained to me that they would do the back first then turn me over and do the front.  Both sides took two hours each.  I came out of recovery and the nurse gave me something for pain and away to lala land I went.  They woke me up to drink some water and decided that I needed to go home with the cathter.  I was very thankful for it because it saved me from having to get up every 15mins to pee.  I have been walking, and the cather came out today and I have been peeing on my own.  The pain has not been to bad, but I still take my meds when needed.  They removed 10lbs of skin and fat.  I am very happy with that number.  I wanted to thank you all for your prayers and support, with having to put  Chip, my baby dog that I had for 14 years down Tuesday, it has  been a hard week.  Well my pain meds are kicking in and I am about to fall asleep.  I will keep you informed, and again THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT. Mike...pictures will e coming soon!
