Top surgery update!!
5 months ago
My surgery was this past Wednesday and it went as smooth as it could have! I've been home recovering ever since and taking it easy, following drs orders, etc etc.
I've been able to sit at my desk for short stints until my body becomes so exhausted that I have to go back and lounge on the couch or in bed, but I'm able to do it a little longer each day, which means that hopefully I'll be able to get back into drawing soon! I have done a little bit, but the painkillers + exhaustion + limited movement means it isn't as good as I'd like it to be for comms n shit xD
Honestly, the most painful parts were the soreness of my throat from the intubation, and the itch of the surgical compression vest. The incision pain hasn't been TOO terrible as long as I am keeping at least somewhat medicated- trying to do a mixture of the heavy stuff plus ibuprofen/tylonol so ween myself off the heavier stuff over time.
I get my drains taken out next Wednesday which is when I should get the okay to shower. I think they'll still want me to wear the vest as much as possible otherwise, but it will be the first time I actually get to see my results which is very exciting!!
I still have medical bills to pay, so I am still taking commissions and accepting donations! Every little bit helps in the long run!
