Tuck It In: Wrap up
Join me as I search my soul for direction regarding my latest pursuit: A tummy tuck. Will I go through with it? Will I "Tuck It In?" Keep reading. Keep coming back. And you'll find out.May 6, 2008
Thirteen days down and a lifetime to go with this new flat tummy of mine. Yep, it's flat. And tight. And with the exception of some swelling that is driving me bonkers -- more about that here -- I am thrilled beyond thrilled with my new mid-section. My decision to go through with a tummy tuck surgery was in fact the right one.
So let's wrap things up with this Tuck It In series. The last time I wrote, I was right out of surgery, recovering at home in my recliner, bandaged and compressed, with two drains and a pain pump sprouting from my belly. I was walking in hunched-over fashion and popping pain pills, antibiotics, probiotics, and a muscle relaxer as prescribed. Now, almost two weeks later, I am out of the recliner and walking upright. The drains and pain pump are gone, all drugs are out of my system, and I'm wearing only my compression wrap to hold me firm and shape this new shape of mine. I'm driving, walking two miles at a time, and counting down the weeks until I can run -- four more to go.
