Morning! π§ββοΈππβοΈπ©·
Today is 1st day since my surgery where I feel better mentally, able to do my yoga meditations/mindfulness exercises w/enthusiasm instead of robotically. π
β οΈ I've developed a seroma which is common after surgeries (definition in pic)
Spoke to surgeon, sometimes these resolve without needle draining π¬
He said to text him (on the portal) in 2 weeks to see if we need to drain.
I may be able to reduce this w/Lasix (mom has tons)
So I'll be peeing a lot this weekend lol π¦π¦π¦π¦ππ
@cjtownsend thank you π
It will happen, this wasn't a huge deal and the pains are manageable. Just annoying that I have a big water lump right on my incision. Lol
If Lasix doesn't knock it back by Monday, I'm calling to get the needle π¬π

@ucantstop_me Glad you're feeling better! π€
@PurpleDragon thanks hun. As much as I rave about the goodness of Mindfulness and meditation, it's not so easy when your body is under stress.. (injury/surgery) is stress and this fuild is stressing me
Fwiw I use a parameter on my fitbit call heart rate variability. It goes low when body is stressed. Mine has really low for a few months now (due to tumor)
It was creeping up until last Monday when I started feeling the fluid lump. It's big, about palm sized. When swells its hand size.
@ucantstop_me I'm sure the whole thing has been very stressful. But it sounds like you're on the right path π
Keep up the good healing! Glad youβre feeling better. π

Sending you a rainbow, Sandra, and wishing you THE BEST!!!
