WORTH IT
I am feeling great! I am so glad I did this! I bought the cheapest ever swim suit from Walmart! lol I usually had to spend around $100! I can wear tank tops with the built in support! I can wear night gowns and my boobies fit! I can wear just about anything now!

Sleeping is still tough. I am a belly sleeper and I cant do that yet. Still hurting/pulling pain under my arms. I have most my pain in my lower ribs....which I think is strange?? Other than that I feel great!

I felt a bit rushed at times and could not get all my questions in. It is very hard to get a post op appt at a time that I need.

Dawn, this may not be such a great consolation but by not sleeping on your belly you are protecting your neck from lots of bad stress. So something good is coming out of giving up your favorite position. It's my favorite, too, so I feel your pain!

You look fantastic!  Enjoy the shopping.

Just got back from my appt. Dr. H took out about half the staples and stitches. I am afraid to move! lol I am afraid it will rip or something. I cant believe that my skin can hold already...its only been 5 days. But she does this often so..

I also have a 2 and 4 year old (upcoming surgery next week) so I can totally relate. Just think of how much closer you can hug them once you are all healed up, and how much easier it will be to run around and play with them :-) Take care and do your breathing/coughing, you will feel better soon!

Isn't it amazing how your body heals? I'm glad to hear you are doing well. How is the fever? Hope that is all cleared up and it was just in response to healing.
Yes, My fever has gone away!
Dawn, I spent 18 years in Wisco, so I'm sending you a special shout-out and cyber hug. Hope you are feeling some better today and getting some sleep.
