Martha?
Hi Jen...
You are SO sweet! My appointment was good. It was the first time out of the house for me. They took out my drain because it has been putting out less than the required 20cc's a day. The drain hadn't been bothering me at all, not that I loved it! The Doc said everything looks good, but I told him that I still feel awful. They all agreed that I look great, good color, bright eyes, etc.
My belly was quite swollen. I will go back next week and may need some fluid drained.
The rest of the day really improved in the way I feel, go figure . It seems like the swelling has gone down quite a bit. I slept better last night and even rolled onto my side for a while without much pain.
This morning I got on the scale for the first time since surgery and I have lost 3 pounds in a week, I gotta start eating more!! I looked in the mirror and felt like I painted one wall in a bleak room....LOL, now my thighs look even more horrid!!! Well, they will have to stay that way . No money to have them done and NO desire to have another surgery.
OK, that's my update.....How are YOU doing??

Glad you are doing better! I am also feeling better. Havent left the house either. Tomorrow is my appointment. I am hoping to get the drains out. I weighed this morning and am so happy I hit the 100+ pounds lost!! That brightened my day. I sneezed this morning too...YOWZZA!! I feel like I am very swollen under my binder, but there is so much tape and stuff that is bothering me more than anything. ONE-MORE-DAY... Talk to you soon!
