Recovery is going well. I took a shower today, which felt good, even if i was freezing cold when I got out of the shower. Jack and I struggled a little bit getting the compression garment on just right, but we eventually got it. I am wearing a compression garment around my abs and a jogging bra over my breasts.
I am not in a lot of pain, but I am experiencing a lot of discomfort. I guess I expected it to be worse, so that's good that it is not. I am planning on taking it very easy for three whole weeks. I want this recovery to start off well. I go back to the surgeon on Monday to get at least one, if not both drains out.
Everything looks pretty good, but I am fairly swollen, so it's a little hard to tell what the end results will look like. So far, I like what I see.
Food has been easy. I'm eating my normal diet, just less of it, which seems reasonable considering how little I am moving. I'm not nauseous, but after I eat a little bit I just don't feel like eating anymore. I am taking my pain meds, one every four hours That helps a lot.
All is well. There is a lot of recovering left to do!
