Post Op day 10- pic

I made it! I'm just about 24 hrs post op and feeling alright. I had never been "under" before so I was weepy and nervous but had great nurses. I was wheeled back at 7:28 for my 7:30 surgery. Surgery took 5 hours. I woke up and was in a bit of pain so I was given a loritab. DH came back to see me in recovery where they told me I could not be released until I peed. since I had a cath for surgery. Well I hadn't eaten or drank in 24 hrs so it took me almost 90 mins to have to pee. By the time I was released and we drove home a bumpy 30 mins I could feel the pain meds wearing off. I also started to get really really sick. Every time I took a step I thought I would throw up. I knew I had to eat but felt way too queasy and weak. By 10am I ended up throwing up and OHMYGOD it was the worst pain ever. I had to have DH help me up from the recliner. I couldn't use my abs to sit and using my arms hurt my chest too much. By 2am I was able to get back to the bathroom alone. Today im just swollen, sore and exhausted. It feels like my garmets are squeezing my guts out. I already love the look of my boobs :-)

Had my 1st post op appt today. Felt SO good to finally see some results, makes the pain feel more "worth it". I'm able to get around a bit faster now, reposition myself in bed and get more comfortable easier. I have to wait a week for my next appt where I'll get my stitches and 1 drain removed.
