It takes 22 days to feel like a human

Jan 13, 2010

I'm going to say it and I'm not even going to knock on wood first.
Today I feel pretty damn good...not like myself, and certainly not any where near 100%...but good nonetheless.

I am still nursing a bit of lingering soreness and an almost raw feeling in the rear portions of my thigh lift. It isn't really surprising considering I have had to sit on top of healing incisions for the last three weeks. My tummy is healing fantastically and looks fab, aside from the expected swelling. The girls are beginning to settle into place...slowly but surely. Also, they are healing well, although, under my left breast, it seems I may have a stitch attempting to make a bid for freedom.

Additionally, I can report being successful in attempting to wear pants (not jeans, though! yikes!) two days in a row. This is a milestone I have been waiting for, as I was tired of dressing in pj bottoms and sweat pants...it makes me feel like a slug. So, the next milestone would be??? Wearing a pair of jeans all day? Being out of the garment for more than shower time? I'm not sure yet, but anything and everything is an improvement.
