Sorry for being AWOL! A Recap:
Day 1-5
I think I was very unlucky with the pain medications. For the first 5 days I had bad memory loss and extreme fatigue, sleeping up to 14 hours in one go. I called the nurse, who put it down to a bad reaction to the general anesthetic. On day 5 I had a brainwave and halved my prescription pain medication, and I'm pleased that I did because my memory came back within 12 hours. The nurse called me a 'lightweight' at my one week post op appointment, saying she'd never seen such a severe reaction to paracetamol!
I was so sore these first few days. Sleeping on my back is so unnatural for me but I was so zonked out from the pain killers that I slipped into slumber at ease.
My pre-op:
The day before my pre-op I was quite worried. It's difficult to know what's normal and what's not, and I was having horrible pains through my right nipple, which I discussed at my appointment and found out was a very common thing to have. My pre-op appointment was very quick. The nurse took off my dressings and said the incisions were healing well. She examined my breasts and said they felt fine, and told me I could go and get a more comfortable bra as long as it's very supportive.
This whole time, my incisions have been itching like CRAZY. I know three people who have had boob jobs done in the sub glandular placement, and all three said it was a walk in the park... I thought I'd be the same! I've got a high pain tolerance and I'm generally quite healthy, I eat well, exercise regularly and sleep lots, so thought my body would get through this with at least some ease... WRONG. I don't know if it's just because I haven't had kids so my breast tissue is a lot firmer, but I've felt rubbish up until 2 days ago!
Yesterday was the first day that I felt like I would have been able to go back to work. Though I am pleased I've got another two days off!
Lots of love and hugs to you all, I hope you are all well.

I did it!
And boy, they look great!
It's currently nearly 7am, I came out of recovery at about 1pm yesterday and have had my overnight stay since.
I've been really sick from the pain medication so am quite dehydrated, despite the anti sickness they iv'ed to me. But I'm feeling much better now.
They. Look. AMAZING.
I had some self doubt at the very end about whether I really wanted to change my body forever via silicone, and I am so so pleased I went ahead with it. I'll post a pic update as soon as possible!
I'm so so so pleased with the results, they look perfect already!
