Wow I've been away for too long!!
Hey everyone. Apologies on my disappearing act, I've just been caught up with the kids. In a way that's a good thing, because I've not given my new breasts much thought and allowed them to get on with it and heal. And they have nicely. The swelling in my left breast has dropped massively! And a lot of the strains and pains have settled. I am able to sleep on my sides and flat and at times if etch myself rolling onto my stomach and I wake myself up and readjust! (I use to love sleeping in the position). My incisions are healing nicely. My PS said I can arise applying cream when I hit the 4 week mark and I have. I opted for Sudocrem. I try to apply it twice a day but at times I forget..like I said not giving them much thought. I'm still wearing my compression bras. I'm able to pick up my 3 year old when need be, fool around with him and starting dancing again with my 10 year old around the kitchen!! So yes overall things are going nicely../just my left breast needs to catch up with right one..
Great to hear that you are happy. I always want to keep an eye on my patients to give you peace of mind and so that I can see how you are getting on. Thanks so much for the nice review and I look forward to seeing you soon! Jonathan
3 weeks exactly today
hi i know its been a while. the weathers been beautiful so I'm making the most of it! which is a good sign that i am getting better. i am now driving again.. manoeuvring at times can be slow, but its ok. I'm cooking, and doing house work but my house keeper is still of great help with the ironing! i can feel like my pecks are getting stronger because i am able to open the oven door which was a struggle and carry heavier things, pick up my boy (not for too long). but i still can't get over the discomfort and pain when I'm reclining or lying down and especially when i wake up in the morning, it feels like someones been sitting on me all night! my left breast is taking longer to heal, not as strong as my right. i can feel all my nerve endings, and the implant, and its still swollen..the nipple is so sensitive, and all my veins have come to the surface, just sticking out! I'm just hoping it'll settle soon, but i definitely feel myself getting there day by day. i have a question: has anyone found that by taking ibuprofen/paracetamol regularly, they have gained weight?? I don't know because i have never relied on pain killers even when its time of the month.. but i have put on a couple of kilos, and I'm wondering if its a side effect from taking the pills??
i will post pics the next time I'm out the shower xx
Small boobies??
I'm thinking they are on the small side. I know it's only been two weeks and I should be patient... :((
