Tomorrow makes 4 weeks post op and from a C to a DD! ;)

Small update.
Sleeping still sucks...and I'm still trying to get over my cold...which also sucks....so I decided to get my hair done today and I told myself to resist the temptation of going bra shopping...but since it's been a crappy weekend with my cold I figured I can just go TRY them on....no harm in that, right?
Well...I went to a dept store and tried on 2 bras that looked super huge...and I was surprised I fit into a D wireless...I can't remember the brand name....and yes...I guess each brand decides cup sizes which makes it that much more confusing...I know you ladies relate to it....
So I went to VS and I got measured...I told the girl I didn't want anything padded and she looked puzzled...I guess cause the 3 girls ahead of me were getting the super ultra padded ones....so when she told me I was a 34DD....I was shocked! so I decided to try one bra on...I figured I just want to see how it looks but won't buy it....yeah right! lol! I tried it, loved it and BOUGHT it....I caved in after telling myself I was going to wait until my boobs settle as they're still dropping ever so slowly....
BUT my good excuse was....I had a new hairdo and after my crappy weekend so I was treating myself to a new BRA and NO padding! yay!!!! yay!!! I was so happy in the dressing room that I pretty much wanted to buy every color they had of that style...but I came back to SANITY and decided one bra will do for now...
it felt good and I was excited to get it...though I'm hoping it was money well spent!

Tomorrow marks my 4 weeks post op. I still have soreness mainly on my right breast...the left seems to be doing better than the right one...today I felt a lot of pain albeit manageable but still none the less uncomfortable...the 'sunburn' feeling still there...and I'm so hoping I don't get complications...

Venting a Little :(

ok Ladies,
I'm super sick with a nasty cold....I need to vent a little

I went to my family dr on Thursday to find out if I needed abs for my cold. I told her that being 3 weeks (almost 4 weeks) post op from my BA that I was concerned. Let me tell you ladies....I have always liked my dr and she has been super good thus far. I haven't seen her in a 1 1/2 month which is when I mentioned to her I was thinking about getting a BA. She sent me to get a mammogram and all was good. However I think she didn't think I'd go thru with it. But when she found out I did her demeanor changed towards me...I could sense the thoughts that were going thru her head and I noticed the look on her face.

She is only my dr. not a friend or relative and she aside from hubby know about the BA...I had to tell her but oh boy! the reaction I got was not pleasant.

I had asked her also to check my incisions and let me know if all was healing ok...so she did...she then asked if I had questions...I said yes....I asked her if the numbness feeling was normal...but what was I thinking asking her....she said that the bottom part of my boobs would NEVER feel the same that the ps had cut thru the muscle and that I would NEVER regain feeling in that area!

I'm pretty upset by her comment and not sure this is true....so this is really really getting me down. My nipples are still sensitive and from my reading I know this is normal. But her comment really dag deep to my core and I can't shake it....

So she gave me the antibiotics and I left her clinic...I have been super sick from this cold...taking as many supplements as possible to get feeling better. I hate to say it but feeling this crappy has gotten me worse feeling bad about the whole BA thing.

I'm happy with the results thus far but being sick isn't helping in feeling confident that the numbness I currently feel plus the 'sunburn' feeling will EVER go away...

sorry for venting...

thoughts?
