Congratulations on doing this for yourself! I'm a 40-year old mother of 3 and I know how hard it is to do *anything* for yourself so, good for you! I am also 7-days post op today and have a couple of comments based on my recent experience. The first is in regards to your drive home on day 4. By day 4, I was feeling vastly better and on day 5 I started doing a little more around the house. Well, that was obviously a mistake because on the morning of day 6, I woke up in excruciating pain and I think I may have pulled or damaged something inside. I'm going to see my PS today but I feel like I'm back to square one again after recovering for a week. Is there any way you can get your MIL to get you to the interstate and a friend to come meet you at the interstate on the other end. I know you still need to shift gears to get going but there will be less turning and up and down shifting. Just a thought - I was not expecting to injure myself and now I've set back my recovery by 1-2 weeks!
Like you, I also spent lots of time online looking at before and after photos trying to decide on size and my PS said something that really resonated with me. She said that it's a lot easier to make breasts look larger with bras and clothing but it's harder to make larger breasts look smaller. She recommended that I err on the smaller size for that reason. I'm 5'5 and 105 lbs and went with 225cc - so far, I'm very happy with that choice.
Very best of luck to you! I'll be thinking of you on Thursday.
