Post surgery day 4

Postby ren0318 » 28 Aug 2011, 10:22

Not doing to bad, I think i over did it yesterday, went with DH to take my daughter school shopping, ended up walking to much!! BM yesterday was of a good consistency, but had pain afterwards of course. Still seeing blood when I clean up down there. It also feels pretty swollen, even like 2 bumps that are sticking out. I guess that normal?? Today, I'm sitting and taking full advantage of watching movies and eating a good dinner that DH is making for the family today!
Hope everyone is having a pain free Sunday,

Glad you're doing well! Blood is very normal for a while, although some bleed, others don't. Ihad blood for quite a while afterwards.
Not sure about the lumps - could be hemmies? Or maybe just swollen from the surgery. Keep an eye on them - very bad pain could mean an abcess has formed, butit's miles more likely not to be anything like that.

Ren,
It sounds like you are doing a whole lot too early post-op!!!
Swelling in that area will be there for weeks.
I know it's not easy but you really should take it easy for a couple of weeks. There's quite a few folks who have had longer recoveries due to the fact that they over do it while recovering. Give it your best shot and let this be a chance to heal everything as quickly as possible- with no bumpy rides that last forever!!
I didn't even set on my butt for a couple of weeks! Not because I couldn't but because I wanted to get a head start on the healing. I didn't want to spend months with aggravating butt because I couldn't be patient and not super mom while healing. Remember your butt has the power and it will stop you in your tracks if you over do it. Those two bumps can get bigger if you don't baby that booty.

Hey Ren - I'm glad to hear that you are doing well, but I'm especially glad to hear that you are taking Dawn's advice ("Baby the bottie" Image I love it!). Seriously, do NOT push yourself! We are holding you to your promise! :D
