Almost Two Weeks In

I'm almost two weeks in. I had my second post operative appointment on Monday and it went well. There are two minor things wrong, but other than that, the healing is going well. I was able to drive myself to the appointment since I weaned myself off of all the drugs the Thursday prior to the appointment. So technically I had about 5 days with drugs. I'm not huge into painkillers (lucky me) and with a high pain threshold, did pretty well.

Now, about the couple of things wrong. For some reason, I developed blisters on the hip, by my new navel and under my left breast. The ones on my hip I popped the third day out. But I didn't know about the other two. The doctor took care of them, but it means the skin underneath has to heal also. Like I said...minor. The second issue is just above the public area. The stitching is healing a little strange. He asked me if I smoked, and I told him that I've always been a non-smoker...not my thing. He said it was reminiscent of smokers and the way they heal. It may take a minor re-stitching, so we'll just have to see.

Other than that, I'm healing well. My abdomen is hard and a little sensitive. I know that it's still swollen and will be asking the doctor again how long it takes for the swelling to go down. I know he'll say two to three months. I just have to be patient. My boobs look fabulously perky. What's not to like about that? My next appointment is Monday, so I'll let you know what happens afterward. Happy New Year!
