Post-OP Day 5

Went to the docs this morning and he said I was healing remarkably well. My skin has healed over where it had rubbed off. The suture line looks great, so does the belly button, he said the contouring on the hips would take 3 months to settle in a bit, they are SO swollen but the black red purple bruising is subsiding. I'm sorry folks but this is still a bit too gruesome to take pics of and post them. I did get pictures of what was removed sitting on an OR table. All I can say is wow, that is a lot of tissue I don't have anylonger...WOW...I may post that for your viewing pleasure....I will go back on Monday and hopefully get some drains out, I have 4 we are hoping to take it down to 2. I'm allowed to walk around the house "on occasion". He said I was not able to walk around the neighborhood. I tend to push things when it comes to recovery but I'm not going to this time...I don't think I could if I wanted to...too much pain!

Alright that is the update for today so far...it is nap time :)
