I cringe at anyone who says they have the stomach flu and they come near me to get me sick. I can not vomit. It will tear me up inside and my plastic will burn for days...ouch.

I think with a normal TT, it is probably much easier. Kinda like a C-section. Just be sure to bring a pillow with you to hold onto in the car. This way the seat belt won't be directly on your surgical area. If you decide to laugh, put a pillow on your abdomen and hold it there. I do that when we laugh at funny movies. I have to say don't make me laugh..how sad, eh??
