No More Crying when Bikini Shopping!

I got my Lift and BA on 2/15. Everything went perfectly great and of course the staff and my PS are just amazing people. My only real issue upon waking up was that my back hurt. I slept most of the evening and my sister waited on me hand and foot all day and night -setting alarm every 4/6 hours for my pain meds and Valuim. I did wake up once in pain and asked for the meds about 30 mins earlier than scheduled. Post up next day was uneventful. PS took off my bandages and put me into sports bra. We then ventured next door to grab Starbucks and bagels. As we were waiting for our order I became in excruciating pain in my right areola area. It felt as if there was a hot searing rod branding me. We went back to PS who gave me gauze to place between areola and bra. By the time I got home I was in so much pain I was crying from the pain. Took meds and slept for 4 hours. The following days the pain persisted. The only relieve was if I was laying down. Went back to PS who explained I was having neuropathic pain. He wasn't sure how to help me as this is very unusual. Let me tell you - I am a tough cookie. I have had a chronic illness most of my adult life, 8 surgeries for female stuff, etc. I can handle pain. THIS pain however was debilitating!! Worst pain I have ever felt! PS called around to try to find answers for me and prescribed me meds for neuropathic pain (btw normal pain meds does nothing for nerve pain). Following day my nurse called and while discussing when this all began asked if maybe I wrap myself in ace bandage really tightly over bra that may help. I did that and it does give me more relieve (not 100% but at least I can function standing up for a bit of time). PS said that due to the lift and cutting around areola that my nerves are just tweaking out and unfortunately this may last a cpl to few weeks. :(. Other than that, everything else has been great and if it wasn't for this specific pain I would say the surgery and recovery was fairly easy. The past few days with the extra relieve I have finally been able to take off bra and see what the girls look like. I love them! I'm so glad my PS went bigger than I thought I wanted! I ended up with 375 cc's high profile. I am so looking forward to this nerve pain to end so I can fully experience the joy of how amazing they look!!!! I've already got a large "wish list" on Victoria Secret website! :).

Got the stitches out yesterday. It was too painful. I admit I did freak out a tiny bit on how my areoa's looked, but they taped them back up so I didn't have enough time to nit pick them to part! The neuropathic pain has gotten better thank goodness and I am not allowed to start the massaging. The massaging feels good to start getting things less hard, but also seems to [RS bleep] the girls off about 10 mins after I'm done. Just another part of this fun journey. I do very. Much enjoy the shape and size and am anxiously awaiting when I can get out of the binding sports bra and into bra's that can actually reveal that I have boobs!! I have a date Sat night and laboring over what to wear that's date worthy while still having on this damn sports bra! :)
