So here I am, 6 days post op. Everything during surgery went well. I woke up and felt fine. My doctor had two "on-Q" pumps inserted above my incisions which helped numb a lot of the pain, but when the nurses suited me up for a shower (put aquasafe coverings over all of my incisions/on-Q pumps and IV) we had a bit of an issue. When she took the coverings off, the on-Q catheter seemed to come loose, as well as the dressing around it and I had some leakage. It wasn't painful unless I was trying to get up out of bed.

The worst part of the entire process was everytime I got back into bed they would put these leg pumps on my calves to prevent clotting, and I got a lovely rash from it. It's fine now, but man was that itchy and annoying!!

I'm not quite sure how much I've lost so far. I'm scheduled for my post op visit with the doctor on Monday, so I will update everyone then! I can't wait until the day I look in the mirror and finally see a change.
