27, 42L, Fibromyalgia, Can't Wait for Relief - Cleveland, OH

Just updating in the way of comparison photos today. I'm still working on healing, and I'm happy with how it's going. It's still got a ways to go, but getting much much closer! I'm still having pain sometimes, but it's not as bad. I'm back to only taking the percocet occasionally instead of every evening. I still can't move around too much without pain, though. I tried vacuuming yesterday and that was too much. I'm getting sick of having a dirty condo, but I don't think it will be too much longer now.

Well, lots more had been happening... Still! First thing that I'm super happy about is that the 44C bras are now too big and I exchanged them for 42C bras!!! I'm in my dream size!

The other big change is that I decided to try adding my high quality essential oils to the saline for my wet to dry dressing changes... WOAH! It has really sped up the healing process! My surgeon was super happy with how it was looking when I saw him last Tuesday. I began using the oils last Monday. I've seen tremendous improvement since then, and will include some photo collages that really show the changes. I began using the oils on day 33, for reference when viewing the photos.

I can tell my body is really working on healing... I'm still really tired a lot of the time! I've also reluctantly added protein shakes to my diet to help with healing... I'm determined now to make this heal super fast! So far, so good! I'm amazed how much it has healed in the past week!!! Besides for the two open areas, the rest of my incisions look wonderful and are fully healed in the outside. Since my surgeon said he left me at A D or a C, and I'm fitting perfectly in a 42C,which is is my band size from before surgery, I'm guessing I won't lose much more in swelling now. My breasts are also starting to do and feel more natural instead of so lumpy and hard, such is nice. I still don't have feeling in my right nipple, which goes erect easily, and all have feeling in my left nipple, which is just starting to get a little hard now and then again.

Overall, I'm feeling better and glad to finally have my wound getting smaller instead of larger like they were for the first 4 weeks. I'm ready to wear a real bra, though! I bought some adorable ones, and am apart amazed at how well they fit! I never knew how well a bra could fit, really! Lol I mean, I knew that the underwire was supposed to lay flat in-between your boobs, but I never could get a bra big enough pre surgery to make that happen... So imagine my surprise that now, wearing a 42C, they underwire lays so smooth against me! It's like a dream! I love it! So yes, I can't wait to get to wear these cute bras!

Even more photos, including my own wound, and how it's looking better since yesterday!
