4 Drains down and 1 to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday I saw my PS and he removed 2 more drains! I had a total of 5 drains after having a Lower Body Lift (LBL) 11 days ago, now I only have 1 left! And it looks like that one will be coming out this coming Monday ! I no longer look like a suicide bomber!!!!!!!!!! The one drain I have left is in the Mons area, of course I wi**** was a side drain, but I sure aint complaining!
I also now have a LAP!!!!!!! Yea BABY!!!!!!! I haven't had one of those in ?????? Lets just say in YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more looking like I just gave birth!!!!! Although I did master the fine art of disguising my loose flesh with all those wonderful ruffle styles that have been around for at least the last 2 years!!!! I'm so happy I finally had this LBL done. A lil jealous of Tessy's TUSHY! She really does have a cute tushy!!!!
Last night, I slept allllllllll night through in MY OWN BED! NOT THE RECLINER!!!!! Yes I slept among a mountain of pillows, but I'm back in MY BED! My hubby really appreciated it too! He has been sleeping on a futton in our family room, said, he couldn't sleep in our bed without me! I guess I'll have to throw him a few BONES when I am operationable!!! LOL!!! I had to get out of bed at 6:30 a.m. because he had to leave to go to work $$$$$ , still have that Breast Lift or maybe a BREAST AUGMENTION in Dec!!!! And Lord knows I wouldn't be able to get out of bed by myself, with my legs and arms floundering around trying to get out of that mess of pillows!!!
ITCHIES????? For the last 4 nights I have been exhausted at night due to those ITCHIES!!!! At night it always seemed to kick in feriously (SP?), I expected to get the itchies, but, this was beyond ITCHIES!!! Benadryl, cortizone creme couldn't touch it! Well yesterday when I saw my dr. he gave me a perscription for Hydroxyzine tablets!!!! I am sooooo loving life, nothing like a goodnights sleep!!!!! Dr. felt strongly that the intense itching may have been contributed to impart the anti biotic and the tubing from the drains.
Oh, and get this. My weight was 155 lbs. pre-PLASTIC surgery (I had gained 5 lbs. filled with alot of anxiety pre-surgery, emotional eating). Today was the first time weighing myself post surgery, I am back to my goal weight of 145!!!!!! And I am still quite swollen!!! OH MY!!!! I know this number will fluctuate alot through this healing process, but today I'm am thrilled!!!!!!
God is GOOD!
Happy FRIDAY EVERYONE!
