Still feeling beat up, but perhaps that's partially because I didn't take any tylenol today. I took some at night so I could sleep (which sort of didn't work, anyway), and figured, I can live with this bruisy feeling, and it will keep me from being a total idiot and hurting myself. So, there I am.
Funny, I don't look bruised except a few spots. But I feel bruised and swollen (that is visible). Last night I wrapped myself up tight from below the breasts (or whatever I should call something that resembles a breast) down, and I woke up much more like myself, instead of Stimpy. It helps to wear some sort of Spanxy undergarment during the day too, but today I haven't gone for it - yet. I think my body is finally getting rid of the toxins from the procedure and medications, and am hopeful that I might feel like me again soon. I had dropped some weight before surgery and found that after surgery, I was 5 lbs heavier. All water, of course.
Well, last night a friend brought over a big box of Bronx-made cannoli - though my daughter scarfed quite a few, I had 2 - they're the small ones, so that was only 2,000 calories, right?
But I did wake up a pound less than yesterday, and I can almost see my abs like I could before surgery, so that's something - cannoli'd or not.
The worst is feeling afraid to go out alone. Hubby is home working, and I'm dying to go for a walk. Maybe I will. Just Man Up and do it. It's daytime, it's beautiful and hot out (and the apartment is freezing - my guy likes the air cranked but I think I'm so sensitive to temperature right now that I have a sweater on and am shivering!), and I need to move my body. Can't go to the gym (duh!), but I can walk. I just have to avoid crowds and close quarters so I don't risk getting bumped into or elbowed in my fammaries (fake mammaries).
Now that I believe my lips are turning purple, like when I was a kid and refused to stop swimming even though I was shivering and pruney, it may be time to take action. Looks like plans for lunch with a good friend are coming together. So I'm going to go make myself presentable and perhaps leave early for extra sunshine. *shiver*
