I'm back home 2days postop!
Hey guys, I'm back home now... Thurs 8:30 PM. My PCA pump IV fell out today after leaking for the whole time, so they pulled it and I started on Lortab a bit earlier. I am not having too much pain - I am very very fortunate, I have a small incision, no drains or discharge, no plastic stay/retainer, and I was able to take off my binder this evening. I was a little nervous to, but it feels better to let my skin breathe. I plan to take a short shower tomorrow with my hubby's help. Had a hard time with liquids the first day post-op as I feel nausea from painkillers, but did much better today and they let me go home. Just wanted to say that I am hanging in there - this can be done, guys. Best wishes to everyone still awaiting approval status. I'll be around more in the next few days.
