Best Decision EVER

Today while working I noticed soreness in my right nipple. But some days they are tender so I didn’t think much of it. As I was finishing my last client I started to feel really bad and I realized I had a fever. Earlier today my sister picked up my daughters and took them to hang with her. So I’m thinking I’m gonna get off work and go home and have some Mr. Nasty Time. Ha! I ended up in the damn Emergency Room. Smh! My breast was tender, sore as hell, hard, and hot to the touch. There couldn’t be a worse time to need to visit the ER. I called ahead to check their protocol. Because if I had to be tested for Covid to get treated... I’d much rather to let it rot and fall off. Ain’t no way I’m going through that swab test. I’m shivering just thinking about it. Anywho, they did a CT Scan with contrast, and blood work. They say it’s Cellulitis and sent meds over to my pharmacy. I’ll follow up with my surgeon tomorrow. This process is much more grueling than I thought it would be. In the pic you can see the darkness in my breast, everything dark feels leathery like a soccer ball. Smh.

I’m now 2 months out. And still very much in my recovery phase. My breasts are still sore at times. I cannot go without a sports bra. Letting them hang naturally causes pain underneath and around the side where my J cut is. It feels tight, thick, and leathery. Every now and again one of my internal stitches tries to come through my skin which is aggravating. It feels like a little bolt of lightning when I touch it. My bf is terrified of them. And sex can be a little awkward, he absolutely cannot lay against them. They have softened and are taking shape. I can fit my clothes now, too bad I gave most of them away before surgery. Oh well... now I have an excuse to shop. I don’t know what size I am. I’m thinking full C or possibly D. Either way, it’s no longer a freakin’ H!!! I alternate using Silicon Scar Therapy Strips and my homemade oil. I’m going to baby them until they completely heal.
