Hi Eleanor, how are you doing have you broken your 3 week stall yet?

Um, I'm not sure about the stiches, we still have a couple days. From what I hear on the other sites most people didn't have a problem taking them out with tweezers and little scissors (sterilized of course). I took stiches out myself before after a different surgery and it didn't really hurt, just kind of pulled on the skin. I think maybe it will be easier in a couple more days as the wounds heal up a little more and will be more "dry" and less tender?? :/ Don't be depressed, you will be fine. You are quickly on your way to great health and looking incredible. You already look pretty darn good for your age!! Though I dont think your current picture represents it, I think you look 100x better in person, very well dressed, well groomed and put together. You look WAY better than me and you are almost double my age!!

Elenor, I am so glad to hear from you! And so glad you are doing well!! I've been meaning to write you but been SOOOOO tired. I've been a little out of it, both mentally and physically. I get a burst of energy after I take a nap (if I'm lucky!), but nap or no nap I have still been 100% at mom mode, I cant exactly explain it to a one year old that mommy is running only 200-something calories a day while recovering from major surgery so I don't have the energy to carry you around all day and play with you guys. It's been hard, but today I noticed I am able to consume a little more and had some soup and staring to feel about 10% more like a human again. And thinking as this continues I might be doing a lot better next week.

Are your seven cutting you a break at least and healing you out around the house??

I cant believe the attitude of some of your family! Where they this negative when you had your TT?? This is something you are doing for YOU and it's really none of their business if it will make you healthier and feel better, they really SHOULD be supportive!

Good Luck and best wishes, wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Yay happy day today! Good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Congrats on your surgery
