Had a dr appt. yesterday and got stitches taken out and one of the two drainage tubes pulled out.
Hurt like a mofo! Oddly enough thats supposed to be good, means I am healing fast they said. Most women dont feel as much as I do....lucky bitches!!
The tube the pulled out is about 10 inches inside me, and its twice the width of the tube on the outside part of me, flattens out and has lots of holes to take in drainage stuff. It burned bad for 15 minutes but feel so much better now that it out. Weds at 4:30pm I get the last one out. They recommended I take a vicodin 1 hour before my appt. I can shower now, (just keep the one hip tube out of the water) so the steri-strips will start to loosen and fall off soon.

She showed me techniques for massage the implants to keep them moving around (back and forth) and then pushing down on them. She did hers twice a days for 15 min...I can do that.

Most of the pain I am feeling is from the tube inside me and the bruising around it. So only a little more time and I will start to feel a little more normal.

I have been very emotional and sensitive lately. I think its mostly from just not being right, ya know the tubes, the pain, not my normal body and feeling. Still a little tired from the healing and being slowed down from it all. I mean it has only been 12 days since the surgery...so actually I am doing quite kick ass.

Spent the weekend at Starbucks Jills. Slept on her sofa, had a bathroom right there and watched ETV all weekend. It was just too hot this weekend and I was slowing down, had worn myself walking too much the week before and it was catching up with me and really hurting. The rest did me good.

Determined to go see the Red Elvises at Fitzgeralds this Saturday. :)
