I saw the nurse practitioner. It was a FaceTime. She asked some questions about my pain, and looked at the swelling and the bruising. She asked me if the right side hurt more and I said yeah. She asked my mom to poke the bruise on my right side to see what it felt like. She said things will be going down a lot and I should still be in pain and my chest should still look like this. She told me I looked great though. She said not to lift anything over 20 pounds, not to exercise at all, or go swimming for 4 weeks and she wants me to see my surgeon on July 8th. She said to wrap my chest in an ace bandage and that should help the swelling and bruising.

I didn’t know this would be so complicated and I’d still be feeling and looking this way 12 days later. I thought recovery would be a lot quicker. But I guess I had both liposuction and surgery. I have an ace bandage on now and it feels a lot better. I took some Tylenol a few minutes ago too.

As for my anxiety it’s a bit rough but I managed yesterday with just 2 Xanax. So I know I can do it. My depression isn’t really there today. I still can’t really eat anything but canned roast beef and Goldfish crackers. Last night I ate a couple pieces of cauliflower crust pizza. I got some iced teas from Sonic today.

My family is really intrigued by my canned roast beef and they are asking for some. I don’t think canned roast beef is very common. It tastes better then the crock pot stuff too.

I’m having this weird issue going on. It went away for a bit. Then came back a couple nights ago. Last night it was really bad. The situation is awkward so I don’t want to tell my mom. I can talk to my therapist about it though. But I see my primary on Thursday and I’m going to have to tell him. He may refer me to a specialist. This could be beneficial in having it medically necessary for me to get a hysterectomy. But the thought of having another surgery makes me sick. Although I do want to get one done.
