2 week chin update picture


Went for a checkup

Today I had a checkup appointment and I got some really good news. I had been experiencing some pretty terrible discomfort on my right incision and it felt like something was really wrong and it was driving me insane and giving me anxiety. Well we discovered that the micropore tape had been cutting into my skin and basically giving me a constant papercut and that's why I'd get such a searing pain when I moved. Oh my god I am thrilled to have this fixed because it was keeping me up at night because every time I would adjust my position I would wake up from the pain. This lack of good sleep combined with the anxiety of something possibly being wrong was really messing with me and freaking me out! I am so relieved to discover that it was such a simple issue. On the down side, the cut seemed pretty deep and now I am wondering if I will have a double scar on that side. Even if that ended up being the case, I wouldn't mind it so much, because I really think my breasts are looking beautiful.

I got my stitches out of my chin! It pinched a little bit but it wasn't bad.

I'm starting to feel some more twitches and zings in my lip which is great. I know that it will be several weeks before this is resolved but I am confident that it will not be permanent. I am very happy that I have no issues with movement.

I'll be going back to work in a couple days and I am very happy. Honestly the tape thing was really the worst thing about recovery!! I know I sound dramatic when I talk about it but that constant sharp pain was reallyyyy freaking me out and now that it's resolved, I feel absolutely incredible. Happy to move forward with the healing process and now I'm confident that the worst of it is definitely behind me.

A little more activity today

So today I went shopping for a few hours, it was good. Very quickly, however, when I got there I started feeling very hot & nauseous. So I just got myself a cold drink and sat down for a bit (banana, almond, granola smoothie, yum) and was ready to go after a few minutes. I was very hyper-aware of my personal space and afraid of people bumping into me, haha. I bought a couple sports bras... Size LARGE!! I've never worn anything except XS or S in my life!!! Pretty cool!

I've been getting a few more "zingers" in my chin & breasts... I know that's a good sign!

One concern I have. My incision on my right breast is still VERY sensitive. When I wake up in the morning, I would describe the feeling as searing pain. Then it goes away after about 10-15 minutes of movement. But I had just started to do my breast displacement massage routine a few moments ago, and had to stop because the pushing & pulling caused my incision to hurt really bad. I will text my nurse tomorrow and let her know about this. Otherwise, all seems to be going well.
