06-24 Drain Out

Submitted by solinox on Thu, 06/24/2004 - 16:12
I got my drain out yesterday!  First thing in the morning, 9 o'clock appointment, so Brian went and sat with the kids in the car, and we took him to work after.  It was a new nurse, one I hadn't met, but she was very nice.  She pulled it out slowly, instead of yanking it out as fast as she could like the last one did.  I highly recommend the slow method, it hurt much less.  I had to do a little dance once I got up.  There are no strings on me!
 
So then I got to play in my closet again.  I did take my measurements a while back, and my waist was an inch smaller while my hips were 1.5 inches smaller.  I also haven't gained any weight while lounging around the house for a month.  Still, when I tried on my old pants, they didn't fit.  They were too small!  I had to go back to an old pair of Lane Bryant jeans before they were comfortable, and then they look all baggy in the legs.  I imagine a lot of this is because I can't stand any real constriction or tightness in my clothes right now.  I used to prefer my jeans pretty tight, and the waistband sat more inside my stomach than outside once I sat down and my stomach folded over.  If it doesn't get a lot better once my swelling and pain goes back down, though, I might actually have to start making my own jeans to be happy with the fit.  How sad!
 
Underwear, though, is absolutely unbelieveable.  I look like a normal woman in underwear.  You have no idea how absolutely amazing this is.  I wish I had some before pictures in underwear for comparison.  I have some hiphugger panties from Victoria Secret that I've avoided wearing because they were uncomfortable; they would roll down under my belly, and...ugh, I can't even describe how bad it looked.  I always wore granny panties because I couldn't stand anything else, and I never wanted to wear lingerire or anything sexy, evenm for Brian.  Now...well, I called up Brian and told him he could buy me lingerie anytime he wanted.  I want to show off and look nice now, because I can.  This is so wonderful!  I'm not deformed anymore!
