So I saw the doc today. He pulled fluid from both sides of my back right below my incision. He said I had to wear my binder and cut way back on my fluid intake (was drinking a gallon of water a day). But that I COULD KEEP WORKING OUT WITH NO RESTRICTIONS! Wooooohoooo! So stoked! :)

So I have a couple things on my mind..... 1. I am thankful to be alive. I feel blessed to be given another day with my family on this earth.

2. The hole is finally completely closed!

3. I am completely medically released with no restrictions.

4. I have been back at bootcamp and full workouts for a few weeks now.

5. The fluid in my back is back and accumulates faster than ever before......

6. This sucks!!!! I see the doc on Friday. He may aspirate again, he may place a drain.... who knows. One thing I know for sure is that the increased activity causes the fluid...

7. My biggest fear is he will place a drain which means restricted activity again.

Overall I am trying to stay positive. I know this is temporary and this too shall pass. I just lost my aunt so I know that life is too short to worry about things like this. However, it is affecting my life. My workouts are my me time, my therapy.... I have notice that my emotions are less controlled when I am unable to have this for myself. It causes a lot of fear in me. I don't want this to affect my results either. :(

  I know I look and feel a lot better now than I ever have before. Trying to remind myself where I started...

Gonna look at old photos and get out of my rut! I love that my husband loves me flaws an all! :) My goal is to help others. I wish I was told that this can be an emotional journey as well as a physical recovery after plastic surgery. So now you know.
