I got up this morning
and washed my hair in the bathroom sink. Moving in a hunched over position
helped this process. My back is aching somewhat due to that and probably
sitting on my bum so much as I recover. I am not able to shower so I sponge
bathed myself.
Today was also the day that the bandages were to be taken off and changed. I was feeling quite anxious about it. The tape was pulled (ouch) and the incision was exposed and I also saw my new navel. It's no longer an outie, but an innie. I still bear some stretch marks from having children but the flap of skin is no longer there and the stretch marks are less. The whole process I found to be quite overwhelming and began to feel light headed and feeling a bit faint. Although I started out in the bathroom, I ended up laying on the bed to finish the gauze/dressing change.
I have yet to take any pain medication today but will probably take one tonight to help me sleep. I've not been resting well at all.
