How many times a day do you use your abs?

Hey all! Today is going good! I spoke with my surgeon this morning and my plastic surgeon. Everything is looking good! He said he got all of the tumor out and we are now just waiting on Pathology to figure out the next step. I have to be very careful with what I do for a while no lifting, be careful getting in and out of bed etc.

I got my 1 IV out so now I only have 1 IV in for meds. I also got my catheter out and was able to take a shower!!!!! wooohoo, but man did it hurt BAD . I  toughed it out and I feel better now that I am clean. 

I am able to eat more regular types of food so my lunch is on its way. 

To my original question how many times a day do you use your abs? Before I had this surgery I never even thought about simple daily tasks using so much of my abs. Simple things like standing, walking, sitting in the shower, brushing my hair, literally sitting in the hospital bed typing. Coughing sucks, and sitting up, and getting out of bed. I am glad to be in a hospital bed to have help sitting up. Breathing even hurts. but I am managing the pain and hopefully I'll be able to continue to manage it. 

Thanks again for all the love and support <3
