Almost a week!

I went to my Dr. Office today and got my stitches taken out. Which didn't hurt at all and was over before I knew it. My current Dr. who did my augmentation is out of town so I had his partner look at my breast today. She said all looks good and to keep the tape on for about 4-6 months depends on how the scar is looking. She said to also change the tape every 7-14 days. I'm not suppose massage either unless absolutely needed in the future. I got the okay to where different sports bras, which is great! I also went shopping a little for new tops today with DH! it's amazing how different clothing looks! I noticed when I do too much my chest gets extremely tight, that's when I know Ineed to sstill take it easy! I'm starting to notice little changes. After getting home from Dr. Office I wanted to look at the new additions and noticed they dropped a little! Even DH noticed! He also said I looked very nice which made me feel great hearing that. He hasn't said much about them. So far I am happy with my results even though they are still changing. Here are some pictures for you ladies!

Update

Last time I updated I was going to go into the ER room for a concern about a bloodclot.
Well I went in yesterday morning, got my vital signs taken, which was good other than I had a bit of a temperature (100) . I was taken back into a room. Asked to change into a gown and waited for my blood to be taken. About five minutes later a man came into the room to take my blood, he poked me twice! Eeek! And ended up taken four tubes of blood. I was told that they will run blood test to see if my blood level is elevated and if so then we could go on from there. While I waited for the blood results to come back, I talked a little with the doctor about my concerns and why I am worried about a blood clot. I told him about my extremely poor circulation, the pinching pain and how it persisted up my leg into my thigh..etc. He told me he really doesn't think I have one just from what he sees, but the blood test will tell him a little more. He walked out, while I sat and chatted with my mother, cried, and just plain worried! She made me feel a little better talking to me about how rare it is, she talked me into feeling that maybe I'm just freaking out, overacting, and there's nothing to worry about!

A little later my doctor came in (I was feeling way better) he told me my blood was elevated to 912. When a normal is around 696-700. I felt like my stomach dropped all the way to the floor! Here I was feeling like I may be over reacting and just being a worrier. Then he tells me this! He reassured me that it's highly unlikely I have a blood clot even though my blood was elevated but just to be 100% we can do a ultrasound. He informed me that it is an expensive thing to do, especially since I don't have medical insurance. But just to be safe I went ahead and got the ultra sound done. The results came back good and nothing was found (thank God!)

I am still having little pains in my calves, but I was told there was nothing there so I try not to worry myself sick. Other than that, I have been doing pretty good. No pain, just a lot of tightness..sometimes I get lightheadedness and still get nauseous. But I can take showers Which is amazing...they look good even though they are very high, tight and hard! I have very little bruising..They are numb as well so hopefully that feeling will come back.

I took a shower this morning and noticed a line in one of my boobs...? It wasn't there the other day and I'm not sure what it could be. My sister thought maybe the bra? I'm not sure so I will ask when I go in tomorrow to have stitches taken out. Another thing I forgot to mention, after drinking that prune juice my #2 hasn't exactly been solid..I'm going regularly, it's just not normal quite yet. Ladies if your gonna drink prune juice, just don't drink three glasses like I did! Lol. Anywho, I took some pictures this morning before I got into the shower so here they are!

Thanks for all your concerns and thoughts Ladies! It means so much.

pictures after surgery

So here are some pictures I took when I got home from my post op.

I decided to go into the ER tomorrow if the pain in my leg doesnt go away. I also noticed some pain in my left arm. I would rather be safe than sorry so I am going for a check up tomorrow. Wish me luck!
