Post-Op Went Well

Tweet

I had my post-op appointment today and everything seems to be going well. My incisions are healing up nicely, although I'm still rather sore around my bellybutton and my left groin area. It turns out I had an inguinal hernia in addition to the femoral hernia, so the surgeon fixed that as well. I am grateful to have those fixed and hope they never come back. I need to try to lose some more weight to prevent them from reoccurring. As of right now I don't have to see that surgeon again unless any complications pop up or if the hernias end up coming back (or I develop a new one.) I'm to take it easy and avoid anything strenuous for the next six weeks. So, I guess it will be more of hanging out on the couch for a while. It still hurts to sit upright for extended periods, but every day it's getting better. Maybe one of these days I'll be able to wear my jeans for the entire day. For now I'll just wear them on the rare occasion I have to go out and stick to my PJs while at home.
