I feel great. Seriously, really, really great. Well, considering that I'm only five days post surgery. This is about where I expected/hoped to be at two weeks out. My belly is still swollen/bloated, but that is clearly decreasing. I'm a bit sore, but not needing as much Tylenol. I can get up from the couch/out of bed with little problem. I can touch my toes!
Last night I slept 6 hours straight, without needing to adjust my position or pillows. The boys were even able to snuggle with me in bed this morning.
So this is when I have to be extra careful - I'm obviously not healed, my incisions aren't even healed yet, so while I feel good I have to make myself take it easy. If I over-do it I risk an extended recovery time, or developing a hernia.
So I'm taking time to catch up on my Netflix queue and reading books and magazines. By the way, the movie Super is weird and not what I expected.
