Ow, my guts are falling!

Feb 05, 2010

I have a little pillow I use as a tummy pillow.  The books said i'd need a pillow for the car to stabilize my tummy during the jostling of the ride home.

Now 4 days post op my tummy pillow goes with me everywhere.  I guess i am feeling the stretch and pull of the rerouted organs.  It feels like my insides are sliding.  Every step hurts.  Getting out of the chair hurts.

This decides it!  i must invent a heavy person pooch sling.  For years the bounce-tug-slap of the spare tractor tire has limited mobilty.  Post surgery, that familiar motion is at the heart of this pain.
