im also on the other side now.. not so nervos anymore - Madison, WI

i hear from a lot a people how good they felt two weeks post op.. i dont feel that way i feel really sore yet and very swollen. i wish i would be able to resume normal life now but i just cant. outer side of my breast hurt so much yet. the insicions are soo sore and rock hard. i have been taking every morning and at night time my pain meds. tried iceing for my swelling and ibuprofen for pain and swelling during the day.. im getting pretty depressed.i cant go outside cause i cant chase my two year old. so im trapped in the house all day.. and now its cold as well its not much fun going out either.
im a such a sissy at times. but i feel lonley until hubby gets home and then he doesnt have much to say either other then work.. wich i dont wanna hear all the time. here i sit on the computer trying to read ore about BR an hoping for some uplifting words.

yesterday i bought some sports bras . and to my surprise they fit. and nothing was cutting in my shoulders. it felt so good.. but since trying them on yesterday i feel that i moved my arms to much and today my boobies are all swelling up. not much fun. so that makes my pain level go up again. i have been taking daily my pain meds. i dont have many left i better wean my self off. i hate depending on others..

well im so sorry i havent been so good with updating but the last week i was soo tired non stop and had no energy after surgery.. it was kind of shock to me that it came on so quick. i never really expected this to happen and it seemed so unreal the whole time waiting up to have a BR. i still have a hard time believing that i had it done. i dont really look much at my new boobs. i like when they are packed away save and sounds.. im worried that they will pop open or something like this.. i know it wont happen but i guess its just a security thingy.. anyways. i had also on wednesday this week my after BR check up they took out two stichtes i had on the bottom of my breast they glued it after and but steri strips on the keep it holding together. doc says im looking very good and bruising in look better that he expected. im glad that he said that. i have been taking it really easy and for everyone who will have it done anytime soon i will tell you you really should do as the doc says. TAKE IT EASY. it will help your recovery. im not so sure yet aobut how i feel about my new breasts. i do know they are smaller. im having a hard time with standing normal yet. not the curve. lol.. i do feel a little unconfy in my body. and now that i can see how big my tummy is that doesnt help at all. so i cant wait till i can start to work out so i can tackle that part of my body.. there are a lot of emotions what come with a breast reduction. its like a rollercoaster. im glad i had it done.
its so hard not to do what i usually do. its really hard to just sit around and be bored and not clean the house or anything. i know its better so my recovery but still im just a such a go getter. and now i cant.. everyday i feel better and better now. but the first week was pretty rough for me. not much so with pain. i just felt so unconfy.. now here are some pic
