Milestones

This may not sound like a big deal to you but on Thursday I was first able to lay on my side and on Friday night I was able to sleep on my side. :) I absolutely hate sleeping on my back and find it very hard to get comfortable. I wake up with my knees and hips hurting from having my legs splayed open. I need to be on my side in my comfortable semi-fetal position. Oh joy! There's still some discomfort in my breast this way and I need a pillow between my knees or below my top leg, but it's still nearly heaven.

The stitched area that creates my new hooding has pretty much healed. The edges of my labia are still swollen but mostly healed; I think all the tissue sloughing is done. The stitches through the labia are starting to tatter on the inside.
