TT and Thigh Red. Update
Hi Everyone,
I finally have the energy to post. I can read post from my cell but cannot post for some reason. So anyway I had my surgery Tuesday the 21st. It went well. I did choose to spend the night in the hospital at my costs due to not feeling well and needing help with voiding and not passing out when standing. I guess i went into surgery a bit dehydrated so I ended up with a ton of fluids. Surgery went well and I came home Wednesday with compression garments and 4 drains. I have basically been couch ridden since then. I have showered and pain is minimal but just no energy to do anything but sleep. I have also had a hard time eating. Everything turns my stomach. I was set on protein, protein, protein but decided yesterday that anything was better than nothing as all my protein choices were not working so I had a banana and fudgicle...then a frozen meal. I am feeling much better and now am able to eat a bit more. Never thought I would have to force myself to eat!!!! I go Wednesday to get three drains out (so they say...not much drainage) the 4th is still draining alot so I think I will have to keep it for a while. I hope to post pictures as soon as I am able. They removed about 5 lbs of extra skin. :)
