48 Hours Post Op

Finally got to take a shower a little while ago. Removed the 2 bandages but not steri strips. Didn't poop the day before surgery and did so this morning. Took a lot of pressure off. Sorry if this is TMI. Upper abdomen is still very swollen and full of air but I have been walking my tail off. Incisions are very sore but I have to say all things considered, I am doing pretty well. The hardest thing for me is getting in and out of the recliner.

      The walking is good, just try not to overdo it. Glad you are doing so well.
