allielee 263 Posted December 6, 2009 Congrats Fanny!!! Good luck and happy flatlands tomorrow! That is so awesome that you will be in the hospital for 7 days. I just had a Tummy Tuck and breast lift with implants 2 weeks ago, I was in surgery for 8 hours and went home that night..ugghh. I and I am sure my hubby would have preferred to be in the hospital having nurses care for me. I am so excited for you! Please post when you can and I will be keeping you and Kate in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lellow 1,713 Posted December 6, 2009 Aw I missed wishing you luck before you left, Fanny! But remember you're in my thoughts and Dr Allbrook is a genius, so I know you're in good hands! If you manage to log on and feel like a visitor, I've got some time off this Wed and would love to come see you! (You're in Murdoch SJOG, right?). We can compare notes. :thumbup: Sweet dreams, matey. When you wake, you'll be waking to a brand new you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fanny Adams 7 Posted December 8, 2009 Hi everyone. I made it through ok and not in any pain as yet, except when I had to get out of bed for thm to change the sheets. Standing up hurt!! Lellow, I'd love a visitor, but I'm in Hollywood Private Hospital, on Monash Avenue, just behind Charlie Gardiner Hosp. I am amazed at how flat my tummy is and I think the boobs will turn out great too.. Allie Morris - they sent you home that night???? OMG!!! I could NOT cope with that!

Mimilou2004 13 Posted December 8, 2009 Fanny, thanks for posting your status, I hope you continue pain free. Why did they have to change your sheets so soon? Do you have a lot of drains? Best wishes for a pain free and speedy recovery. Mimi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fanny Adams 7 Posted December 8, 2009 Hi Mimi. I had 4 drains but they took 3 of them out this morning, so they were only in there overnight. I think they changed the sheets partly because they were a bit mucky from when they took the drains out but mostly as an excuse to have me stand up. I only just managed it but hoping it will be easier tomorrow. However, as the anaesthetic is starting to wear off, I think it will actually be worse tomorrow. In all the ops I've had over the years (and there have been many!), Day 3 is usually the worst, as the anaesthetic is fully flushed from your system, they drop the drug dosages but the pain is still there and comes through finally... Oh well... it's been an easy run so far, here's to hoping it continues :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue Magoo 71 Posted December 8, 2009 Wow Fanny! Sounds like things are going very well for you. I hope day 3 isn't too bad. Take care and rest, rest, rest. Sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allielee 263 Posted December 8, 2009 Hi Fanny! I am so glad to hear you are doing so well! Welcome to the flatlands Fanny! Isn't it so wonderful to feel a tight smooth tummy? I can hardly wait to see your pics. I found that walking as much as possible really helped to speed my recovery. It also helps to get the gas moving.. keep us posted Fanny!
