5 weeks out from PS this past Monday.

Mar 17, 2010

I have been VERY VERY lucky, as so far all is well. I am coming right along in the healing. For the most part I am very very happy with the results so far.. my only complaint, is that it seems when he put my aeola's back on, they did not get put back on the same.. (think one is upside down) making my nipples look a bit different from each other. I keep hoping as I heal more, this will resolve. Speaking of the girls.. I have got to go figure out what bra size I need now. I am thinking 36 C.. we shall see.

I have just a bit of tenderness in the suture lines, but only if I bump them. Now the abdominal muscles...well... they are still tender, and I imagine that will last for a while yet, as muscle takes longer to heal than other tissues. I'll tell you, I do not like it when a sneeze or two comes on!

This coming Monday I will be six weeks out. End of lifting restrictions and garments... But I can tell that I will still need to be very careful with how much I do and I think I may still wear the garments during the day to help support things when I am active. I do look forward to sleeping in comfort without them.

Still not quite up to any "power walking". When i go for walks, especially if ay hills are involved, I can feel it in my abdominal muscles after a while. I am looking forward to getting back to my power walks, and being able to do the things that need done, without having to ask for help all the time. I especially look forward to being able to pick up my grand children and not have to ask for someone to put them on my lap.

There is still some swelling through the surgical area of my abdomen. Some times it is better than others. But all in all things are going great!

For those of you who do not know what procedures I had done, they were:
Lower body lift
anchor cut tummy tuck (vertical incision from breast bone to mons pubus)
small amount of lipo to upper outter thighs
breast augmentation
neck lift

So, that was ALOT all at once. But i am doing great and feel better each day. Now.. if I could just get some energy back and sleep normal again!
