Home from Thigh Lift
Thigh lift done today and I'm home resting. Got the pain ball so I'm not in too much pain. I've take a 1/2 an Oxy twice, it seems to be working. The female urinal is working for me and comes in handy. Off to bed for the night. Will be changing compression garments tomorrow so I will see my legs for the first time then.
Rest up and heal well! Smiles and a speedy recovery for you-

Wow the scars are gnarly, but that is to be expected. I fainted this morning when changing my compression garment. Blood pressure just bottomed out. My hubby was there to catch me and help. Freaked him out a bit, but all is well now. The incisions sting but all in all the pain is still not too bad and I am staying a head of it with the pain meds.
Congratulations! When you feel up to it will you post all the details? I am looking at female urinals and they seem to be drastically different. It sure would be nice to see the shape of one that works well. I'm guessing the ones with the opening up on a square bottle would have to go between the legs and wouldn't work well.
Take care and keep us up dated.

Here is the urinal. It is helpful because I don't have to take my compression garment off to pee when using this. Since my BP has a tendency to drop when I take the compression off, that is a good thing for me. This one has a neck that can go up the garment and press against me to stop leaking or getting the garment wet.
