How are you doing???
September 6, 2014
Hi, thanks for asking. I'm doing pretty well. My ZPack seems to be working and the infection is on the mend. I'm mostly terribly sore and bruised and unfortunately I have super sensitive skin and my entire area under my arm pits is red, chafing
This journey is an exercise in patience. I just want to get on with my life but it's not quite time.

Day 17- Swelling under the armpits
I found a comfortable way to sort of sleep on my side by using a king pillow as a body pillow. I can only stay in that position for about 10 minutes, but they are 10 wonderful minutes. I bought some vitamin E oil fro my scars but I am not really using it diligently because I am letting my scars form. I've read that it takes scars 6 weeks to fully mature and I really don't want to open any incisions. So I'm taking it easy for one more week before I really return to life as I know it and waiting six before I start worrying too much about scars. I didn't do this to have pretty breasts; I did it to feel better so scars shmars. I'll figure that out in time.
The worst part about right now is the tightness, soreness and swelling under my armpits. Ice helps. I'm off pain meds completely and taking Aleve a couple times a day. I am actually a little surprised by how quickly the time is passing. Yay!
