Today is okay if I didn't have sick children and a Husband who has to work long hours and is going to be gone this weekend. just in a bad mood. I was hoping this last payday I could of gone out and bought me that new bra I wanted but NOPE! Bills of course has to come first. So I am a bit angry about that but oh well.
When I got the stitches out the Nurse put on more steri strips and guess what is coming off already and it has only been a week. I hate those things anyways but the ones that have come off feels okay to move around with and boy do I move around since being a mom of 3 and have 4 dogs in my house its a pain. 1 dog is a friends and another we Foster for a large breed rescue.
I don't know what size I am yet I am thinking a Large C Small D but not too sure yet. I put on one of my old Bras yesterday and DANG there is a ton of room/ I have not gotten rid of them because I want to remind myself that I can get back down to the size I want to be and there is no turning back. I haven't had to take any pain killers for at least 5 days now. i was just taking ibuprofen 600mg once a day. Now I just take them for my headaches i have been getting from stress of my children.
I have a Picture but I need to email it to myself from my phone. I am happy just need to get myself that bra so I don't have to wear this surgical bra. Its getting annoying.

Do all stitches have to be taken out? My Dr. Said mine will go away on their own.

I had two stitches at each of my nipples that needed to come out, but otherwise they were all internal sutures that dissolve on their own after several weeks.

My doctor is using stitches that dissolve on their own (around the nips and everywhere else).

Post op was Thursday this last week. Stitches...
Post op was Thursday this last week. Stitches were taken out things looking good. Nurse accidently took off 1 scab but that is okay. I do like to bleed though. Only my left side is really tender the right side gets that way sometimes too but I can't wait until I can go and buy myself a new bra. (have to wait for bills to be paid first) But I have my Dress for my husbands dining out and it fits perfectly. I am so excited to actually show off and its a dress I can wear with or without a bra. I am going to get a strapless bra just in case But I put it on and I felt like I didn't need one at all. I can wear normal clothing and not have to buy anything really big. Kind of wish Dec would get here.
My Dr said that I can start working out slowly and not just jump right into working out which I agree. I am totally excited first week was hard but second week it was better and I could move around a little better and now I can almost do things as long as it is not too heavy.
I am going to try and walk our new Foster dog tomorrow just around our cul-de-sac that way my husband can watch just to see if I can handle her. If I can then that will be my daily thing until I can start running again. 4 more weeks I am hoping. I think I will start running in Jan just to make sure I am healed.
