Update-Better and better

Well, Friday was 4 weeks post op tt. I recommitted to that annoying binder and have noticed a DRAMATIC decrease in the belly button drainage. It much more manageable. The pain is less and less every day now as is the swelling. That Mons area has got to go and I think I see Lipo in my near future. I am actually feeling optomistic and have stepped up the job searching. I have an appointment with a recruiter tomorrow. I am not sure I want to go that route, but if the money is right..... I am getting some much needed dental work done before I go back to work. The work I had done last week required a shot in the nerve that left me in a great deal of pain and unable to open my jaw. i was pushing the food through my teeth. Through this experience, I have discovered that I have a sensitivity, or allergy, to codeine as well. 911 was almost dialed for me last night. What a nightmare. As I started thinking about it, I realize I have never taken Tyleonol #3 and wonder if I have ever had codeine like that. I know it seems improbable, but I have always had excellent health. So, today is a good day, and I am now feeling happy about getting this done. I went and bought some new dress pants for interviewing on Saturday. Now that the stomach is gone, I have some pretty pronounced back, and Matt is thrilled. My boobs and my ass look much bigger. I actually like what I see when I am dressed. That Mons area that looks like a ******** is still keeping me from being happy with the naked view though. Thanks everyone for all the support and advice. I did listen and followed what people recommended for me. That is why we are here for each other right? Love, Terri

Great that you are starting to feel better, Terri! I also have a problem with codeine - if you can handle just a bit, you can always pick up Tylenol 1 in Canada. Good luck on the job-hunt - I only go the recruiter route; it saves me the time and they do a lot of the work. Just remember, don't give them any money!!! They get paid through the companies. If they want money from you, they are not a good place to deal with. Darla

Glad to hear you are feeling better! Yeah, the mons thing is not fun, but actually mine went down some as the weeks went on and its ok now. Best of luck job hunting! Theresa
