Feeling Fantastic

WORTH IT
I'm 3 days out and feel fantastic. The key is to stay on top of your meds - prescription or tylenol, just take it regularly. Also I'm taking bromelain and trying not to do anything physical.
I did take a shower earlier today. I used the handheld shower head to keep the water off my chest.

Huzzah! Glad to hear things went well and YOU are doing well! Rest as much as you can, even when you think you can 'do a little something' especially the first two or three days. A brief walk around the house each day will help as well. Hope your kids are able to give Mommy the TLC she needs! And you're right--you look awesome!

Tv and more tv is on the weeks agenda. Walking to the mailbox will be the big outing for the day.

Yes, I concur, although I made it to the dreaded Walmart for some bras. How's this for timing: found two for $11 (so bought four) and came home to find my Adori waiting for me (along with two Leading Lady bras I'd thought were not available...). I am making my way through the grading that glowers in stacks next to me along with the entire season of Breaking Bad (the latter getting more of my attention, truth be told).

I so much miss Breaking Bad :( you are so lucky to have that all still to watch. I watched the whole lot over christmas and wish I had saved some!

It is soooo good. Bryan Cranston is mesmerizing in this role. Actually, the whole cast and writing crew are amaze balls.

its brilliant, and never lets you down does, with a rubbish storyline or something that doesn't quite add up - everything is properly thought through, I love it! I have seen Bryan Cranston in small parts in a few things since then, not new stuff, so he obviously just needed the right role. enjoy!

I am totally enjoying it and savoring it by doling out only two episodes a day (damn those portfolios needing to be graded). Cranston was, of course, in 'Malcolm in the Middle' playing a completely different type of character and is now doing the Broadway show about LBJ. An amazing, affable and down to earth person.

well thats good it will last longer - it is pretty long anyway. I never saw MITM, so had not really seen him before. Also have spotted Saul the lawyer in Fargo recently (the series). This is new to us in the UK, but you might have had it already if you are in the US. Its pretty good but no BB :(

looking awesome even with the bandages :) I am impressed at your taking pictures so soon, it took me ages to manage that! Congratulations, look forward to seeing pictures as you get further into recovery. x

On the smaller side!

Back from the hospital this morning. Yesterday was a whirlwind. Checked in at 7am. Pre-op IV/blood pressure/getting asked repetitive questions (what's your name, who is your doctor) by everyone. Doc marked me up around 8:15. Two nurses came to wheel me into the operating room. As I was being wheeled in, the song "Happy" was playing. The nurses said that was a fitting song. Oh, and one of the nurses said she had a reduction done 4 years ago and it was the best decision of her life. She patted my leg and said how great it was I was doing it now. Yay!
I remember being rolled into the OR and that is it....Woke up in post-op and it was 11:45am. I was definitely out of it! The first thing I remember doing is lifting the hospital gown to take a peek at my chest. And smiled. Yesterday was a huge blur. I am very thankful I got to stay the night at the hospital because if anything would have gone wrong, it would have been taken care of then.
Fast forward to this morning. The doctor came to my room around 7:30 to check the bandages. He said everything looks good and I was free to go home. I visit with him Monday afternoon. He did take a looksie at my new boobs and I have to brag - they look AWESOME. haha
