Breast Reduction and a vertical lift. 36DDD, 35 y/o, 5'6.5", 145lbs. Mother of two. Breastfed x1

The sun is out and it's warm. That means I'm outside working. I love it! I have been more uncomfortable. Mostly along the lower outsides of my breasts and my rib cage I'm that area. Today I will try harder to take it easy. It's hard for me to rest. I'm definitely a go getter. Otherwise everything else is going well. I get excited for the next week to see more healing and progress towards feeling back to my normal self. I still get tired randomly. So my body is still hard at work to heal up! Next Wednesday I have my next post op appointment. Can't wait to see what Dr. Bensimon says.

These days off to rest have been nice and needed. No real pain to report. Bruising is almost gone. I work the next 3 days. I'll see how I do. I've learned that the more support soft bra I bought is better for long days. I did some light yard work today. Everything seems fine. Looking forward to working out again. Building up for it. More activity every day.

I have a physically demanding job and I work 12 hour shifts with not many breaks. So you can imagine how sore I've been the last two days when I get home! I've had to use my stronger pain medicine in the evening. I'm trying not to lift much. I get tired easily and I'm ready to have a few days off rest. Tomorrow I will replace my tape and try to get some pictures. I'm so exhausted!
