Leah’s Blog: 1st Day of Recovery
I have great news! I woke up feeling really good this morning. I was able to walk smoothly and a little more upright than yesterday. My husband got the kids off to school, so that was very helpful. I don’t want to overdue it, but I also want to stay active and work through the pain. The only pain so far is from the stomach muscles and I know this is normal, so I have no worries. I had a little mild bleeding from the incision. I am going to shower today and get the incision gently cleaned up, as directed.
This is my personal recovery plan. I will enjoy the peace and quiet, which rarely happens in this house! I will allow others to do things for me for the next couple of days and then work into doing more for myself. The after-care instructions are very clear and I want to follow them completely, helping to assure a safe recovery so I don’t have any complications!
I took a quick look at my stomach last night and I am already loving my new cute belly button! I could immediately see a difference in my appearance. LOVE IT! I sure hope I continue to feel so good and that I don’t overdue anything. I am so pleased with this experience! Thank you to Dr. Bashioum and his team, I am so happy.
Thanks for sharing this adventure with me!
