WORTH IT$1
I managed to get these on here. Before is the night before the explant. The right implant always sat way higher on the right and had ruptured, effectively pushing up under my armpit. Nice, eh? Not something they tell you about on implant is it?
The wrinkling on PostOp2 is from the compression and now sagging skin. It is slowly getting better. Please remember these are post menopausal, 58 year old boobs!

Clothes (and I still love them)

I couldn't resist the temptation to try on some of my tops this morning and oh yes! They fit so much better, even though I am still compressed into my Marena bra (a great investment). The clothes drape where they should drape and flow where they should flow and no gaping buttons.
I no longer have to worry about cleavage popping out the top. I have to tell you ladies, I've been in office work for my entire career and I am appalled at the way some women think cleavage is acceptable business attire. But then flip through the tv channels and every actress portraying doctors or lawyers are "practicing" with her boobs half exposed!
I'm not a prude but I don't believe boobs and boardrooms are synergistic.
That's my rant for the day - lol. Loving my "new" old wardrobe!

I tried a bunch of clothes on this morning too. I'm as happy as you are! I just look more natural in all ways. And I totally agree with you about the cleavage thing....my 24 year old granddaughter flaunts it all over....So awful. Can't stop her. Thanks for sharing this morning...you must be feeling pretty darned good!

Hi Joanne - I had a rough night really and had to take some pain meds. I think trying on the couple of my fav shirts was an attempt to feel better. :). I had some leakage from the ruptured implant which I assume took some digging to remove so the area under my right armpit is very sore and swollen today. All in due course . . .

yeah, yours is still really fresh too. Mine still hurt....especially around the nipple area.....I have a friend who had hers taken out about 6 or 7 months ago...she had absolutely ZERO pain. Not fair! When do you go back to work? You do an office job, right? No lifting etc?
January 26, 2014
Next week - I'm a desk jockey so no lifting of any kind ever done although when I asked my PS (thinking of water bottles, groceries etc.) he didn't think it would be a problem?
My pain seems to travel but I suppose that's normal.
Do you have to go back to work?
January 26, 2014
No, fortunately I'm retired....very lucky. I was a police dispatcher fo 31 years. UGH. Loved it, but a burnout job. I'm from Idaho. You?

Ugh! The morning started off good and I thought "sure, I can go back to work" - slept with no pain meds last night too. Now I'm home and flat out - who knew just being upright all day could be so exhausting? Lol

As I've mentioned b-4, whoever said (doctor); that you'd be ready for work in a few days has never had an explantation! It was at least 10 days b-4 I could function without discomfort or exhaustion setting in. Don't be too hard on yourself :)

I swear, it takes a goodly amount of time to get the anesthetic out of your system. I hope you sleep 15 hours straight tonight! I'm in awe of you going back to work so fast! You're a strong one...

Hi DarlaK, How are you today? Pictures? What size do you think you will be? I'm guessing I will go back to a 32A/AA. Thanks for your words of encouragement. I find when I didn't take meds on time my whole body would start to shudder - muscles shivering uncontrollably. I'm guessing it is the shock of surgery? So your friend is probably right on the meds helping your body to rest.
