Day 2 post tummy tuck

Well today hasn't been as painful which is good but i decided to try and lower my dosage of pain meds today. That has been going good so far which is a relief. I did try and get a shower which didn't go as good as i had planned. I got sat down and started taking the binder off which was ok at first until all the pressure was off then it made me feel pretty whoozie. After that feeling passed I stood up and got in the shower holding my drain and pain pump in one hand while Chris washed me off...i didn't go anywhere near the incision on the front because that is a "danger zone" right now lol. The only thing that was really uncomfortable was my back was hurting so bad while Chris was washing all my dirty parts. after a quick washing i was beyond ready to get out....3 words  of advice BRING A CHAIR because if i couldn't have sat down after that i think i would have hit the floor! when i did get out and sat down i was shivering soo bad and i'm not sure if it was from my back hurting so bad or if i was really cold either way i was ready to be done with the whole thing. Putting the binder back on was so nice because it gave me that feeling of security again. I finally am back in my recliner waiting on time for my hubby to bring me a pain pill so i can drift off into a great sleep! I did happen to snap a picture of my extremely swollen belly with out the girdle! FYI my pain pump is still bleeding but i just put a dressing over it every so often and just deal with it because the doctor said to apply pressure and it would stop but that didn't work so i'm just going to let it do its thing.
