{Recovery Part 1}

Wow, so it's been a while. Exactly last Monday I went in for surgery. Most of you know I had a corrected umbilical hernia, as well as, a tummy tuck... YIKES! The good news is that it went wonderful. I couldn't have asked for better doctors, nurses, and family for help. It obviously wasn't a pain free recovery. It's very intense. I have a lot of bruising and swelling yet, but today was a good day overall. I got both drains out (most unpleasant things ever) and although taking them out feels like being hit in the head with a baseball bat, it's SO much better afterwards.

Tonight I feel as though I have a little more freedom. I am walking around with out a walker at about a 45 degree angle (the past I had to be at a 90 degree angle all the time.) I am able to wean myself off the meds fairly easy, so it's been overall smooth sailing. I still have a lot to go, but in a months time, I should be back to doing most of my normal activities ... which I am looking forward too.

Tomorrow I have another doctor's appointment, so pray everything goes well there too! Thanks for all the kind words and emails, it's been so appreciated!

Hope everyone is having a great start to their MAY!
