one week ago today, if I knew then what I know now

 You look gorgeous!!!!!

 I'm sorry to hear you're in so much pain. I had an extended tummy tuck yesterday and it's really not that bad. If I'm reclining and relaxing, I don't notice any pain. I've been taking Percocet every 4 hours and I also have a pain pump releasing numbing stuff into my stomach for the next few days. When getting off the recliner and walking slowly around the house, I do have a little pain from the tightness but nothing major.

I to was taking the pain medication every 4 hours until I thought I couldnt live without it. The pain really only last about a week or even less, the rest is just discomfort. I dont have pain anymore and only take tylenol. The first week I was home I would take the medication and sleep,sleep,sleep, which I know is good for us but I have an addictive personallity and knew I needed to stop taking it. Im good now, its hard to get into a comfy position to sleep because they say your nerve endings start coming back and it feels like I can feel every stick and staple when I move. I will wait until Im about a month or so out to really think if I would do it again.
