I was doing so well. I feel like I am split in half right now. My left side feels up to doing just about anything and has for some time. But my right side is a different story. It is more swollen still and if I try to stand straight it pulls and hurts because of it. But instead of getting better it is getting worse as time goes on. I have been trying to just stretch every time I get up and thinking the pain was being caused by the healing process. But I just couldn't understand why it is only on the right side. And it isn't just mildly uncomfortable. It is a lot of pain when I get up. Starts off uncomfortable, then goes to pain and I am bending over farther and farther rather quickly holding that side of my belly. Then my back starts to give out due to my back issues from bending over and my outer thighs were the muscles were pulled up start to ache so my knees bend to make that more comfortable. I look all contorted. Standing more than 5 minutes at a time just isn't happening. And there is no chance of me lifting my right arm above my head.
When I am resting in my recliner I have what feels like muscle spasms on the right side. I am back to needing a stronger pain medication (I always need pain medication for other medical issues non surgery related). My stomach on the right side from my rib cage to just above the incision is tender to the touch. It also has times when it feels hot. Not hot to the touch but how you feel when you have something hot placed on your skin. Like I have a hot water bottle sitting on my stomach or something. But I am not running a fever and no redness which were the signs of infection I was told to look for. I am going to the Dr tomorrow to get checked out a week earlier than planned to be safe. I just have gone down hill this weekend rather quickly. Which seems odd to me a full month after the surgery.
