I have the compression garment blues...

And it's hot here today- heat index over 110 degrees. And the central air conditioning unit went out last night- still waiting for the repairmen to come. And my compression garment is getting itchier and more uncomfortable by the hour.

In my wildest dream, I just stripped off naked and jumped in the pond. Just in my dream, though. Never in real life.

Whine whine whine.

What good do you have happening in your day? Please, give me some good things to think about so I won't be obsessing with compression garments and heat!

If you put a tank top on under garment the itching will stop.  I knoiw its hot but atleat the itching will stop.  Put an ice pack on the back of your neck too.

Here's a big hug for you Shelly...lol I know it stinks but I had my 4 week follow up and my PS Dr said we need to wear spanks and the binder to keep the tummy from swelling .. I hope you are using some power to keep cooler and I hope you AC is fixed soon...go to the Cool mall and hang out there !!!   Take care. Despinasdream

Thank you so much! One more hot night- the part won't be in until tomorrow. The mall sounds like a great idea!

I remember the tummy tuck binder blues!  I had my TT in April, though, so it wasn't too hot out.  I just had a thigh lift and butt lift and my binder's driving me nuts!  Hope those tips work for you.
