Week four, and my incision is finally to the point where I can wear pants that aren't super wide. These are a little big on me now, but they used to be so form-fitting that the only way I could get them off was to peel them off wrong side out. 😅 I think they're 22s and I wear an 18/20 now. Mostly. You know how women's sizes go. They may even be a 24. I didn't look. I can still wear them as long as I don't overload the pockets. But I was a 30/32, so that is a big change. But I'm trying to wear pants instead of shorts now just in case a dog forgets him/herself and gets up on me. They don't want any open wounds for surgery in case of infection, especially near the surgical site. The dogs have been really good, the closest was yesterday one got onto the bed with me when my roommate left my barrier down (my door has reached that time of the year when it won't stay closed on its own, so we use a dog gate, and he pushed his way in, because he loves me and my bed). Actually, the cat has been the closest to getting me, as when he's hungry he does these little bites, and he almost got my ankle the other day. Still, I'm just being careful, keeping an eye out, and wearing pants till surgery, even the skinny ones, except on PT days, which I only have one more before surgery.
