10 Days and Counting - Evansville, IN

So far, so good! I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Little pain..more soreness (like being engorged when breastfeeding) especially after a long day at work. My 18 year old daughter assures me that each day they look less swollen and are proportionate to the rest of my body. Hope your recoveries are going well too!

How many days did you wait to begin walking? The absence of winter in So Indiana (and most other places) has me pretty antsy to get out and put in some miles. I race walk (don't run) due to my breasts and back..at least I have in the past. I've worn an Enell bra in the past but needless to say, will pass on to a friend (quite happily!) Did you wear something other than your post-op bra? Of course I'll bow to the recommendation of my PS when I see him tomorrow but just wanted to get input from those of you that have recently walked the the same path.

Add my prayers to your list of well wishers! Time does and will heal!!

Hi TallOne...Hope your recovery since waking up has been flawless!!

Doing very well!! Being sedentary had not been in my vocabulary..though I think that I'd better embrace the concept STAT! My healing is exactly on target. I do have drains which I empty twice/day (only about a teaspoon from each side). My PS prescribed Percocet which is a bit too much. I am now splitting the tablet in half. Thank goodness it is raining, dreary and gray or I'd be tempted to go outside. But after waiting too many years for this surgery, I WILL follow directions to a "t" and be certain that the final product is a success. Here's my smile for the day..my 18 year old daughter tweeted, "I'd give anything for my mom's new perfect boobs!" Thanks Dr. Orr for your artistry and to my friends, family, and co-workers for all of your thoughtfulness!!
