So Ready for Surgery and Hopefully Less Pain. Brookline, MA

I cannot believe that tomorrow will be 2 weeks since my surgery. I am feeling better and better each day. Still a little sore, but my neck and back pain are gone so that is great. Tonight I am taking my 12-year old daughter with me when I shop for bras. She has been a great help since my surgery - she has helped me to take a shower, put my bra on when I was too sore to put it on, etc.

One thing that I have noticed now that I am moving around more is that my nipples are very, very sensitive. They are almost too sensitive. The other night when I was driving, the seat belt was making me crazy. Today as I was moving around the house my shirt was rubbing against me and it was really bothering me. My husband thinks that my breasts are in a different place so everything feels different. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am so frustrated. I cannot find a bra to fit. I had bought some Fruit of the Loom bras that came recommended by a lot of people on this site and on the Walmart site. I originally was a 34G and I bought size large. I then did more research and bought another type of Fruit of the Loom bras that also were highly recommended and bought a 40. They could only be bought online and they came today. Gracious are they tight! I think I would need to get a 42. Yikes! I go back to work and I am not sure what to do. I cannot wear underwire bras for about another 8 weeks. Any recommendations for bras? The one that the doctor gave me was okay but not my favorite.

I am feeling better today. This is the first day that I have not felt exhausted. Also last night I was able to sleep semi on my side which felt nice as I was getting tired of sleeping on my back. It was also the first night I did not wake up in the middle of the night feeling like I had cotton in my mouth.

Here are pictures from day 6. I cannot believe that tomorrow will be a week.

I still feel really tingly and stiff.
