I'm Baaackkkk! (Sort of)
This is a bit late, but want to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and hope that your Chirstmas holiday was blessed.
As some of you may know, I had surgery on 12/21/10 (a belt lipectomy), and was in the hospital until the 24th. Still on drugs, but feeling a bit more human...still quite a bit of pain though.
11 lbs. of excess skin removed from my abdomen and lower back (mostly abdomen). I have Before pics that I will post as soon as I get some "after" pics.
Came home with four drains and a binder. Down to one drain and a binder. Not to mention an incision all the way around my bikini line. I am a bit concerned with some pinched skin at the center back .. and am hoping that as swelling and healilng progresses, all will smooth out.
I am feeling very nervous and anxious about not being able to move. I still have to walk "hunched" over, and am looking for a bell tower to hang out in for a few days.
You all take care, and Happy 2011!
Hugs,
Kathy
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in
It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
