Postop day 8...Shower, shave, blowdried hair, and makeup!! Getting better everyday. Had another visit with the doctor today. He removed some stitches and some steritape. Everythings looking good. My right breast has some redness that is moving towards my glands so to be safe the doctor started me on a 5 day antibiotic. Did not sleep comfortably last night so I took a couple tylenol. I start feeling pretty tired by evening time. My ps had me freaked out about blood clots. Each day that passes I worry a little less...Other than that so far so good.

We went on the same day! I'm glad you are feeling better each day. It is quite the experience but so worth it.

Day 5 post-op. Today was a good day. I cleaned a toilet and sink and moved a load of laundry along. I was afraid of moving the whole pile so I had my 13 yr old help. My tummy feels swollen...hope that wasn't too much activity for today. My 4 year old wanted to be my snuggle bug this morning. His wiggly legs and sharp elbows made it hard for me to love the moment with him but I can't resist his snuggles. The pain was very minimal today...I didn't even need tylenol. By night though my lower back is very tight and throbbing so I took a pill to take the edge off for bed. Took the belt off to check my gauze. My stomach is flat and tight! My husband keeps checking out the boobies :) he says they are so high it's like I have a shelf to set my wine glass on. Haha. Cheers...to a speedy recovery!

OMG Girlie...skip the house cleaning for a while.  Milk that one out as long as you possibly can.  Post op day 5 you were cleaning a toilet and sink...LOL Ok you get the Wonder Woman award. 

When I was post op day 5 I was just lucky to be able to get on and off the toilet by myself...never had the urge to clean it.

I did have a pain pump. It was a ballon type thing that was in a fanny pack around my waist. It had very thin tubes that went in through the incision and around the navel area. It was also attached with a big brown patch on my leg. The pump was removed on my day 2 post-op visit.

So glad you are feeling better. I know that first week was very hard for me. Really the first week and a half. I am two week out today and am feeling pretty good. I have only done a little laundry and not much else. I still have two drans in and should get them out Wednesday. We head out to go camping with our trailer on Tuesday. My husband is having to do most of it. It doesn't take long and I get tired. But... I am really looking forword to relaxing by the lake with my family. I don't think it will long and you and your family will be enjoying a great summer with you and the new hot bod. :)

Friday, day 4. Took another shower today just because I can and the water felt great. I tied gauze around my neck and pinned the drains to that. It works, but after the shower the gauze keeps dripping. No biggie. I had the compression belt off for a half an hour...it feels much better to have it on. My drains are so low I might get them out today. Waiting to hear still. I fed the dog and figured out a way to sort laundry. Instead of bending over into the basket I was on my knees pulling stuff out. Just that little bit made me tired. So back to my movie marathon until the Dr calls.
