Default TT in Dec

I had my TT and breast lift in Dec. Mastopexy was a piece of cake, the TT was excrucuiating. The muscle in your gut are so torn up and restruictured the pain is not in the sutures, it is in the abdom. muscles. I planned to be and was in the hospital for a week, and for the first 3 days or so I screamed every time I was moved. When I did come home, as I live alone, I had someone come in daily for 2 hrs to do things that required bending or lifting-dishwasher, trash, change linens, laundry, etc. I also had a nurse visit daily to change dressings since I had a drain that was so far back on my hip I couldn't see it. The drain itself, though a nuisance , is not hard to drain, I just did it sitting on the toilet. In retrospect, I would have settled for only a panniculectomy and not done the TT.
