 Just focus on healing - all of this will be a distant memory before you know it.  Then you'll look like an underwear model in a CK or 2xist ad and your partner will be shooting evil stares at the gawkers!

How much time did you take off work? Do you think it will be enough?

Rug, I'm so happy you are feeling better and the pain is being mostly/sort of managed.

Also, when do you get to bend again?

 I took 3 weeks off work, and this is the beginning if week 3. My doctor said they often do 4, but I just can't bare bing out of work that long.  Besides, I'm on the younger side and determined as well. I'll just head back and do my best. 

Pain is really much better now than t was 1 week ago. 

I can bend enough to sit in a chair for short periods of time, but not enough to put on pants or sit for long periods. But surgery was two weeks ago today now.

Hi Ruggie, Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit more human. Your procedures sound great, especially the butt lift. Amazing what can be done.

Take Care and continue with a speedy recovery.

Next week at this time you'll feel even better. {{{Ruggie}}}

I'm gonna have to check out that plastics board...at some point down the road I'll be considering procedures for real, not just thinking of them as part of some nebulous future. Meanwhile, I have no questions; just sending you a ton of feel better soon and quick healing vibes!

Hey! Great to hear from you!

Sounds like you're on the mend now but that first week sounds horrible.

I'm definately following your journey but gotta say just not sure about the LBL...sounds really painful.

Cant wait for pics when you're healed up.

cheers

 Well... Couple weeks of pain for decades of results, eh?  I suspect you'd handle the pain better simply because you've endured childbirth. I'm honestly a pain wuss.
