Stitches are gone!

Well, the stitches are gone! It feels so good to get them out, and the itching has definitely improved. I am 18 days post op and starting to feel so much better. I am still sleeping at least 10 to 12 hours per day, and that is helping tremendously! We took these pictures this afternoon after being out of my compression garment for quite awhile, so I am very very swollen! Still, it is neat to see how my body is changing!
