New Body...More Confidence...It's about time! - Jacksonville, FL

Well I am two days post op. I feel pretty good considering. I think the best thing I did was to borrow a power lift reclining chair. It has been amazing. Easy to get in and out of and great support to sleep in. Also, I have an amazing man that is taking care of his honey. He is kind gentle yet stern and encouraging.i actually went 3 hours without pain yesterday and 2 hours so far today. My breasts hurt the worst. I haven't had much pain in the abdomen. Although my back is hurting from holding the posture needed. I wish I knew a good way to stretch it out without hurting my stomach.

Other things from yesterday...I had my post op dr visit. He said everything looked great. I did have a little nausea but was able to recover before I lost it. Crackers have been a good friend! They help to take meds without full meals. Looking forward to getting better everyday...but so far...not so bad!!!

Today is day 4. I feel pretty good. The shower was rough. I didn't have a shower stool. It really hurt my back to stand that long. I think maybe because I chose to stop taking my pain meds today and switched to ibuprofen. Anyway, I made it through. I'm resting now. I still haven't had a BM. I have taken colace since day one but it hasn't worked yet. Hopefully soon... I don't have a picture from today but ill postpone from yesterday.
