8 days Post-Op...

Had another appt. with Dr. K last Tuesday. It was a bit of a teary appt for me. After a difficult weekend, sick kids, and many other life problems...I was just near my breaking point with everything. Dr. K was wonderful...he spent a great deal of time with me. He assured me that everything is healing beautifully and that my girls are going to be gorgeous! At this stage (of healing), it's hard to imagine! With miles of incisions, stitches, and steri-strips and looking like someone took to me with a baseball bat...I'm having trouble imagining the final outcome. But...the appt. went well...he seemed to ease my fears and anxiety! I also discovered that I am allergic to Percocet...and have been given Vicodin instead. I am not in much pain at all now (just taking Tylenol during the day)...but the Vicodin is definitely helping me to sleep...since I'm still in the recliner...uggggghhhh, my lower back, my hips and my neck hurt like heck! And now...my incisions are starting to itch (hopefully a good sign). I go back for another f/u appt tomorrow (Friday)...hoping they're going to change the steri-strips!!
