Feeling pretty good
So today I'm 12 days post op and feeling good. I ended flying from Hawaii to the mainland a week after surgery to be with my kids. If anyone is considering flying after surgery I can say I had the best experience with United. When I had to rebook my flight that I originally was scheduled for because of surgery, I called the airlines and explained to them that I would need a wheel chair because I just had surgery. The lady I spoke to on the phone was great and assigned me a seat that didn't have anyone in front of me. When I first arrived at the airport the ticket agent wasn't helpful at all about needing help, but once we got things taken care of they finally brought me a wheel chair. They pushed me right through the long line at TSA. But please inform them that you are unable to lift your arms up above your head so that you can walk through the metal detector instead of the body scan. The customer service that I received from United was wonderful. They board you first on the plane so that you can get situated and then checked up on me throughout the flight.
I do get a little dull pain on the side of my boob but not sure if it's from my sports bra or from sleeping on my side. But besides that I feel so much better and at times I feel so good that I forget that I just had surgery. Im still taking it easy and not lifting anything or pushing anything. A lot of my symptoms are slowly going away. I'm finally able to sleep and be able to get really good sleep. I'm finding that I'm sleeping between 10-12 hours a night now. I guess I'm making up for all the sleep that I've lost in the last year.
I'm still loving the way my breast look! I feel that this was the best decision that I could of made. I've never realized how bad I was until I've recently talked to my husband. He told me that he's able to see changes in me now and I'm slowly becoming me again. I still haven't gone bra shopping other than for some new comfortable sports bra. I've found one at Walmart that is really comfortable and cost me $11 for a 3/pack. Once I get back home in two weeks I'll take some pictures at my 3 week mark.
Still loving the new and healthy me! Not looking back but looking forward to the years I have left to enjoy of the new me!

Day 6 post op
So yesterday I went and had the pump and stitches removed. It felt so good to have the pump removed. After talking to the doctor he said that he could understand why I was feeling so bad after what he took out. He said the signs was really there for ALCL but we're thankful it's clear.
So all I can say is yesterday when I woke up and got around to taking a shower, I looked into a full length mirror and for the first time in my life I loved the way I looked. I've never been happy with my body and I have always wanted implants. Now don't get me wrong because I liked the way I looked having boobs. But after having health issues for the past year and having been tested twice for cancer I've learned to look at life differently. Even though I'm just 6 days post op I love feeling the changes in my breast daily. The itching and sharp pains of the healing is such a wonderful feeling. I'm not getting all caught up on how my breast look and I'm not worrying about going bra shopping. My doctor wants me in a tight sports bra day and night so I guess I'll be listening to my doctor.
It's amazing what our bodies are capable of doing. I'm loving the new me and the healthy me!
