Day 5- Clean!

I just wanted to add a quick update about progress since I've been home. I also changed my dressing today so I have a pic of my incision.
  • I can walk to and from the restroom on crutches by myself
  • I was able to sit in my wheelchair for about 30-40 minutes before my hip was irritated
  • I got dressed this morning using my grabber
  • I took a shower with just a little help from my husband
  • I pooped! (I thought it was funny that the Dr at the hospital asked me everyday if I had or not)
Here is the pic of my incision. Whenever I can move around more I will get a measurement on it.

Yay! Everything sounds like it's going well! Incision looks good, Sami. Keep it up and believe me, by next week you'll be feeling like a new woman and things will not seem quite so daunting. You're awesome!

Thanks Marcie! I feel so much better than when I first woke up from surgery and couldn't move without pain.

Taking a shower is so exciting. It is a great perk me up too! It is going to get a little bit easier each day!
