nurseamy 2 Posted March 17, 2008 Amy: Looking great! I'm suppose to go to Puerto Rico with my DH in 3 weeks. I was wondering about the compression garment and a bathing suit, but I guess you just don't worry about it?! Did you have to travel far? I still hurt when bouncing in a car. Did the travel make you swell more? I only had to travel 1.5hrs.I just wore the garment when I did not have a bathing suit on(you can see the marks from my garment on the one with my pink bathing suit)I was swollen from the trip..I weighed 4lbs heavier last night when we got home than I did this morning. Have fun in Puerto Rico!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kareyquilts 1 Posted March 18, 2008 Amy: Can you be more specific about how you feel? Still having a hard time standing straight? Lots of swelling what? Just don't have the stamina? Wondering if I'll be saying the same things in a couple more weeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wondering if I'll be saying the same things in a couple more weeks! HIi Karey, I am just still very sore and still having a hard time standing straight.I do have some swelling,but not much.I am just very achy sp? It is hard to describe:rolleyes:Best way to describe it is I feel like I have been beaten with a baseball bat sliced in half and put back together:confused_smile:I have 3 little ones so it has been hard for me to just relax so I think this has effected my recovery.I am really not a wimp either,I had my 1st baby with no epidural and have done great with other surgeries.Post Op Blues...big time!!!I am sure you will be fine in a couple of weeks!!!
