WORTH IT
Really pleased with how the girls are dropping. Annoyingly I have developed Mondors cords underneath both breasts. The left ones don’t bother me at all but the ones on the right are more prominent and extend further down. I can feel them way down in my abdomen. I think this maybe why I’m struggling to find a comfortable bra as they all seem to irritate that area. I emailed my clinic to get some advice. My surgeon messaged back almost immediately and advised that they are benign, self limiting and normally resolve after 6 weeks and to massage them with moisturiser. So I’m massaging them with bio oil 2-3 times a day. Hopefully will see some improvement.

Felt much better over the weekend.
Still struggling to actually find a bra that’s comfortable though. I bought M & S post surgical sports bra which is supposed to be seamless but does have a seam which digs into my incision site. The other 2 bras I bought are softer but synthetic and I find they irritate my skin after a while. I’m thinking of ordering the Macom bra and seeing if that’s any better?
Saw my surgeon today for my follow up appointment. Decided to do the sensible thing and get the train rather than driving for 6 hours. He was really pleased with my recovery and healing and cleared me to start running on an incline on a treadmill from next week.
Still can’t lift my right arm high ( left is completely normal ) ... surgeon said to give it more time to recover.

So having been feeling really well, I’ve realised tonight that I have totally over done it these last couple of days and now feel dreadful. I’m cold, achy, shivery and my right breast which was previously fine is now uncomfortable. On the plus side my left is now ok.
Hubby has been away on a business trip so I’ve been doing pretty much everything including walking the two dogs. I’m currently having to walk them separately as I can’t manage them together at the moment but consequently I’m covering twice the distance. Not sure 12k per day is classed as taking it easy?!
Anyway I’ve decided to have a Netflix day tmw and will hopefully feel better for the weekend.

I think you are going to have. Great result, but for crying out loud lady, take it easy! Happy healing!

A wise nurse told me that you only have ONE recovery time. Do it right. Do it wrong and you will regret it.

Wise words indeed. As a Nurse myself that would be exactly what I would tell my own surgical patients post op!! Trouble is we’re not very good at following our own advice!!

Oh my goodness, I guess not. Well you sound intuitive and aware. And then you have nurse skills. But everybody should follow that advice. I applaud your courage. I breastfed twins, in need of regaining what I had before that, and I'm just too concerned on the risks and that's why I am on this site. Thank you for your help and your posts
