10 days have come and gone now. I am a little shocked that it has been 10 days already. But I am glad that I am very tough or I would have died in the last ten days. This has been the worst recovery ever for me. And this was my 5th surgery. I am still lovely shades of bruised, mainly black. My incisions still hurt, especially when touched. And laying down or getting up still hurts a lot. Who knew how much you used your stomach muscles untill your stomach was jacked up. But I am healing, at least physically. Mentally, it is still rocky. I am not sure I will heal mentally though. We shall see. I still have like ten more days till I see my doctor, and seeing my body makes me want to hurt him also. The swelling has been crazy with this recovery. In the morning, I look like I am 3 months pregnant, and by the end of the day I look 5 months pregnant, all from swelling. It's crazy! I guess that is normal? I truly have no idea. And I have a crappy nurse that doesn't tell me much of anything, so I am waiting to see. And I am off of Motrin now too. I was usppose to stay on pain pills for 1-2 months, that lasted 2 days. And Motrin for about the same amount of time. I guess having a high pain tolerance pays off at times. But it probably would of been an easier recovery if I had taken the pain pills like I should of and rested more. But life goes on and here's to ten more days of recovery..
Well a correction. I had glue bandages over the incisions. The glue has been coming off but now they are completely gone. And in two of my incisions I have a stitch hanging out of my body and the incisions are more open where the stitch is. I guess I ripped them or pulled it. I'm going to have a scar for sure. Now I'm upset again. I'm not sure what to do.
