Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Dr K told to take pictures of before and after and to continue to do so. Well, the other night he took a picture after I got out of the shower. Even with the swelling from standing in the shower, and moving around and such, I am SOOOO impressed with my Tummy Tuck! Today was the first day I was " left alone " . There was no one here but me and I had to deal with the phone, dogs, meds, food, etc. I think I may have over-done a bit. I wasn't tired all day, but occasionally I get a pain on the left side of the abdomin where Dr. K " did most of the work " on the muscles. And man, does it hurt. But other then that, I'm just sore. Move slowly and then start to feel a little better, and then quickly jerk and hurt myself. I am finding that with my four drainage tubes, the ones of the left, where they enter my leg, are leaking. It's kind of a cleary/pinkish fluid, sticky. Almost like plasma. The Right side is doing well, I only have to empty that once a day or so and only get out 1/2 to 1/4 ounce. The left side is a bugger though. I do feel human, and just a little sore... tired is also a word I would use to describe the way I feel, but that could be from the Demerol. As soon as I can figure out how to upload the pictures from my camera, who do I send them to to get them in the RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY file? Thanks guys for all the well wishes!
