I keep forgetting to post updates, which shows that things are really getting back to normal. I've been feeling normal in my day-to-day routine for a couple weeks now. Carrying laundry, groceries, etc.
Last Monday - so, about 4.5 week post surgery - I went back to the gym doing regular workouts. I am not using as much weight as I used to (about half my normal weight), but everything feels great and it's hard to NOT go up in weight. I still feel much slower than I used to be and I don't have as much endurance as I did, but that is coming back. I'm going to start training for an upcoming Spartan Race soon.
The nerve damage I felt on my left thigh is gone. I have a little numbness just above my large incision. I still have quite a 'bulge' just above the incision, which I was hoping was just swelling, but now I'm thinking it's just belly fat re-distributed in an unfortunate manner. Too bad he didn't just scrape some of that out while he was in there!
I have not been doing a very good job of remembering to do my scar massage. I have gotten some resources for cesarean scar care and need to do that on a more consistent basis.
Teddy seems to be doing well, you can read about him on his mom's blog.
