Home didn't go well o2 sats remained low and couldn't meet criteria for discharge til late in the day on oxygen all day. I'm a baby as greg has to dress me walk me 40 steps three times a day measure the blood drainage many times a day and record amounts for doctor. No shower for 48 hours, baby shampoo doc said to not irritate the holes and scars I guess are under the girdle that extends over my boobs and attached at waist with a lidocaine pump big and clumsy. No excercise no bending no nothing for eight weeks. He removed 2500cc's of fat greg thinks and 2.5 lbs of skin. Again he thinks. So how would this compute to 20 lbs if he's right about the numbers as doc also told him it went as planned. Bed at ll and awake at 2:30 both of us and took the foley out before leaving as they wanted to leave it in overnight so don't have to get up at night bu greg has to help with that too. I don't do well with platic stuff. But seriously thanks for asking and sending good vibe. might be on a ventilator if not. And they said it's major surgery and ob-gyn is a piece of cake. Have percocet, keflex, and motrin round the clock. Love Phillipa short amount of time in a chair.
