She's been eating ice chips and just ate pasta with alfredo sauce. She's definitely a happy camper is surprised that she actually did the tummy tuck. She has to concentrate a little if she needs to pee. I moved my recliner into our bedroom because she wanted to stay close to the bathroom and not have to walk too far.

Glad to hear she’s doing well. That was not our experience so I’m truly happy it’s going smoothly for you two.

Glad she is doing good SB. I am surprised they gave her both pain meds and muscle relaxers. Those have a synergistic effect. Make sure you keep a close eye on her if she is taking them both together.

Thank you Ax. Yeah, so far she's still doing good. Just a little discomfort in her abs now that her abs are back in place. She's very energetic, she's been wanting to get up and walk around the house. So I'm having to slow her down so she doesn't fuck nothing up.

And actually it's the pain meds and muscle relaxers that the doctor wanted her to start taking right away. They didn't want her to wait for the original pain medication from the surgery to wear off. And what really helps is that we have a registered nurse right next door on top of the other nurse assigned by her doctor that comes by. Our RN neighbor has a son that's special needs so they have tons of medical equipment and supplies that they are letting us use, like a wheelchair, walker, extra binders for her waist, bandages and tape, and anything else we may need.

I'm definitely watching her. She's taking Tramadol for pain and Cyclobenzaprine for the muscle relaxer. I can see it's started to sedate her a little. The major concern about the interaction between these two meds is seizures, but if you've had seizures before. But hopefully it won't cause any issues. I have clothes laid out in case I need to do anything drastic like rush her to the hospital in the middle of the night.

Tramadol after the surgery she just had?

Now I know why they gave her both.

Sounds like you’ve got a pretty good setup. This might be too personal, but how your babies Delivered? Mine were all Caesarian, and so my wife’s abs had to be heavily repaired (the doc seemed surprised at how much they had separated). And I wonder how that may have played into her recovery (versus “traditional” birth).

All 4 of our kids were Caesarian. Yes her abs were pretty out of place. It's pretty neat though because now that her abs are put back together she has her little hour glass shape back like how it was before she was pregnant with our first one 23 years ago.

My oldest boy is wanting to get that but he's holding out because, depending on which one you get, they're a little pricey for him.
