I finally took that shower! And other post-op happenings.

Pain levels in that muscle are a lot better today, so I took that shower, did a steam treatment on my hair with chebe butter, changed my clothes…

Speaking of clothes, if you have that mesh incision covering kind of “suture” holding your incision together while it heals, the smooth polyester “Adidas” style track pants are best for both being able to slide your butt over clingier fabrics like cotton blankets or upholstery as you’re getting in and out of furniture pieces, and for not catching on that mesh. I was wearing a pair that had a light thermal lining that was just a little fuzzy inside until today, and it caught a bit on the mesh. Not bad enough that I didn’t wear the pants for a couple days straight, but bad enough that my actual fleece sweatpants are definitely not getting worn until the mesh is off.

Otherwise, I’m just doing the usual bed — > recliner —> bathroom shuffle, eating, sleeping, petting cats, and keeping up with my meds. Tomorrow is two weeks post op already!
