38 yrs old, A Cup, Cannot Wait to Feel Like a Woman - Calgary, AB

The week has certainly brought on a roller coaster of emotions. By day 3 I was only taking Oxy at bedtime and slept pretty well throughout the night. Sitting up in the mornings was always a struggle. There was intense pressure and pain when first sitting up but after a few minutes it would subside. Day 5 was probably the worst day I had this week. I woke up with the typical pain but it never went away. I was in extreme pain in my right breast only all day. I had my follow up appt with Dr Whidden that day and he said it's normal and about 75% of women experience this on the right side or their dominant side and should go away within a couple of weeks. The thought of that made me want to cry. A few more weeks of that just out me outta my misery haha. He also gave the green light to wear whatever bra I want or no bra at all as well as I can now sleep however I find comfortable. When I got home I took an oxy and felt some relief and took more for bedtime. I also went to bed bra less. When I woke up the next morning I dreaded sitting up and prepared myself for the worst pain but it was only tightness no pain! Most of my day was fine with the odd twinge of pain here and there but nothing unbearable. Last night was my first night without taking Oxy. It was an uncomfortable sleep and woke up a lot but I'm happy to get off those meds. I'm still so bloated so I'm hoping after a couple of days things will return to normal :) Today was another good day in terms of pain but I'll say I'm VERY aware of my implants 99% of the time and how tight and foreign they feel. It's really hard to a keep positive state of mind at times when feeling like this. I can't wait to feel good again. I love the way they look just hate how they feel right now :(

Late yesterday I started getting sharp burning pain in my right breast only. It sounds like it was nerve pain from what I read. It was pretty unbearable and really tried to limit any arm movement as that would trigger shooting pain throughout my breast. I slept pretty good through the night. I was comfortable and didn't feel the need to take any pain meds but I did wake up at 4am in quite a bit of pain. I felt fine lying down but when I sat up it was really painful. I took some pain meds and felt comfortable within the half hour and was in and out of sleep until 8. At 8 I took another Oxy because of the nerve pain again but pleased to say I haven't had the need to take any since. I'm feeling pretty good. Tight, some fullness and the occasional shooting pain in my right breast but it's manageable. I can move both my arms with little to no pain and feel quite good. I am feeling a bit nauseous today and very bloated. I feel like I look about 6 months pregnant!! But for just having surgery Thursday I am very happy with how I am feeling at this point especially since this morning was looking a little grim.

A little frankenboob but looking forward to seeing the progress every day
