Check out my signiture for my before/after pics! It's been four weeks as of yesterday, and things are getting a lot better. It is still hard to sit/stand for long periods of time but I am just happy being able to eat, not being so sleepy and generally getting out of the house a little bit. I have been swimming, mostly just walking in the pool but it's nice just to DO something after laying around for so long. I am still betting on being full time at school the third week of August so cross your fingers!

Thanks so much for posting your pictures. Your correction is great! That balloon is cute. I'm glad to hear you're doing better and have been able to get in the pool. I haven't been able to do that because part of my incision split!
Good luck going back to school!
