3 days later
I had surgery this past Wednesday to remove a thingie from my abdomen as well as some skin. The surgery was suppose to take 5 hours but ended up taking about eight. The surgeon removed 2 or 3 cysts and about 2 pounds of skin and fat.
I was more worried about the anesthesia than any thing. As long as I woke up from it I didn’t care about ANY of the pain.
I was suppose to receive morphine from my iv after the surgery but I never complained of pain so I never got any of it. I did feel nauseous so I got something for it. I only took 4 pain killers total and have only been using tylenol and advil since yesterday. I feel a little discomfort when moving around and coughing is a bitch (lucky me I have a cold).
i have had workouts that hurt worse. I am doing much better than anyone anticipated. I can get up and down by myself, get in and out of a car, walk.
Hopefully I will get my drains removed on Tuesday and will be able to take a real shower instead of a slut bath!

You must be relieved to have it over with!! Did they cut into muscle or just the skin? Are you happy with the job they did??
