It’s stomach liposuction post op day 3, and I spent it mostly hanging out with a good friend of mine that escaped the Netherlands to go live in the UK with his girlfriend and her kids. While I’m perfectly happy for him, I realized today how much I miss having him around since he’s one of the most easy going people. What was cool is he had his step son with him so we (my husband and friend’s brother) got to hang out with him too. I think the kiddo likes hanging out with us because we talk to him (and around him) like adults. We sugar coat nothing. His mom may end up being a tad pissed… ah well.
Anyhow, outside of still not having much of an appetite (which was so wasted on all you can eat sushi), there wasn’t anything amazing that happened today. I got up at a normal time and hung out at the barber while the guys got their faces shaved and beards trimmed. Then we picked up my friend’s brother and son and headed my place to play the Plague Inc board game and bullshit a bit. Later we headed out to sushi and finished up by watching the latest Underworld movie and completely riffing on it the entire time (you wouldn’t think there was a bunch of 30 somethings and a 13 year old in the room, we have yet to grow up).
One of the things that has me a little worried since there’s only tomorrow (day 4 post op) between now and the dreaded day 5, is the pain has eased up quite a bit since yesterday. I’m getting up and down a little better, I was able to lean forward to play the board game, get in and out of the car a little easier and walk almost immediately after getting out of the car. I am still on full pain killers so maybe the pain has gone down and allowed the pain killers to fully take over??
Or, the other alternative I really don’t want to think about….. Day 5 post op is going to be one hell of a KILLER day and I won’t be sitting at my computer working as I thought I was. Instead you might find me in the corner crying.
I do have to go to Rijswijk to go see the doctor for my next in person check up, so if the killer day 5 hits, that’s not going to be any fun at all.
The only other thing is I had my husband massage my stomach this morning, this evening before going out to sushi, and then I’ll have him do it again before bed. So far everything seems to be going ok.
My husband did snap this picture of a lovely bruise on the underside of my boob. I’m not exactly sure how it got there, maybe the surgeon kept hitting the area with the cannula? I’m not sure. I do know my bra band across the part of the ribs that go under my breasts is NOT the most comfortable thing in the world right now and having to wear a bra to go out of the house was a pita. Good thing none of my friends give a shit what I wear in the house.
