My BA and Full TT is This Week! Surprisingly Calm...this Far.. - West Palm Beach, FL

The days have been prety uneventful so I am fast forwarding to Feb 27th: D5 Post Op I don't think I posted about DRAINS, my PS unlike most PS placed 2 drains on my breast and the standard 2 in the TT during my surgery (p.s I opted for no pain pump as I didn't want to worry about another thing hanging off of me) thankfuly the pain hasn't been that bad....it would of been a waste of money....for me anyways, the drains are place through a tiny incision after the breast incision and the ones for the TT are placed also through 2 tiny cuts below my TT by the puvic area, I have to empty the drains 3 times a day or more often if they fill up and you have to record them as of how many ml's came out of each one and the time everyday and called those numbers into my PS's office he reviews it every day and ones I was under 30 ml's they can be remove and today is the day and also my 1st post op appointment with my Dr!!!! :-) My PS advise me to take my pain pill (1/2 percocet) 1 hour before and bring with me an icepack so I did, he check all the incisions and BB (btw i have never had small BB or an innie for that matter and now i have both YAY!) so he walked me through what he was about do he took the stitches holding the tubes in place, ice the area for a bit then take a deep breath as he was pulling them out I felt them move a little it hurts.....more like burns when the end of the drain come out of your skin so he did that 3 times so I only have one more drain to go on the right side abdomen because this is measuring about 37ml's per day he said more likely it will come out Friday or Monday the latest, I took the Percocet before the visit so the rest of the day wasn't all that bad. I am walking much straighter i have to remember to push my shoulders back as i always had a bad posture now i am consciously trying to correct it. Sleeping at night, I continue to wake a up with a sore neck and/or lover back can't wait to sleep in my own bed next to my hubby.

Lol lower back!.....not lover back....

Feb 25th: D3 Post Op feeling good walking around more and more per my PS as of tomorrow I can try to walk straighter my shoulders and back are in pain, nothing new from the day before I continue with my meds ....Percocet for pain, keflex antibiotic, arnica pills, vitamin D3 and b12 and colace stool softeners again not to much pain more discomfort than anything else.
