67 Yr Old, Constant Pain, Brain Fog, CFS, Fibro 2 Sets Implants Since 1974 Bye Bye

Well my surgery was 3 weeks ago yesterday, I am healing well. I have scheduled to go back to work slowly next week. For me I really miss dog grooming. My brain fog is better and I am my neck and shoulder pain are gone. My joints are still stiff with inflammation and I hope it improves.I hurt where the incisions RE WHICH IS UNDER MY BREAST. But I remember other surgeries and it takes time.
The Dr. told me to let pain guide me, if I hurt I am doing to
much so I have been monitoring pretty closely.
I am so happy to have small little itty bitties. They are soft and squisy and I forgot what that was like. My clothes fit so much better and it makes me look thinner. Always a plus!
I want to thank you all for all of your words of encouragement.
This is a long journey and I am glad that I made it.
Hugs
Nancy

Who Hoo! I made it to the lighter side, 6 days ago Dr, Robert Green gave me a start to a new pain free life. I woke up and could take a deep breath. I have been very tired since last Monday. But very little pain or discomfort. The drains were in until Friday. It was a nice relief to get them removed. The left side has bothered me a little more than the right side. I never even felt any pain or discomfort in the right side. I think since the rupture was in the left side that more work and scraping had to be done. There was calcification and floating silicone on this side. Dr, Robert Green of Eureka, CA did a beautiful en bloc removal.
I am a dog groomer and am hoping that I be able to get back to work in i month.
My shoulder neck and back pain are gone. I lived in pain for 40 years, with the last 5 years being so severe my quality of life was not good. I had to cI will continue to update on this sightonstantly go for massages just to get thru the day. Sleeping had become almost impossible leaving me always tired and worn out.
It seems like I am feeling so much better than before the surgery and the healing has not really been completed.
I think this is the best decision I have ever made. The implants and my body did not get along.
More later, hang in there and do your home work. Make sure your Dr. removes the capsules, and sends to pathology.

1 week from today these babies come out. I can hardly wait. Yes I am nervous but I think it will bring health and no pain to my life. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I have been getting my house work done. all bills are paid, and trying to make my list of what I will need.
Wedge pillow, neck pillow, table for my snacks, thermometer, water bottles, medicines, remote for tv, bandages, face wipes etc. I am a list maker and try to be organized.
I will post pictures and keep you updated.
If you ladies are on Facebook there is a great supportive page called Breast Implant Illness healing by Nichole. Very informative for those considering explant. Very supportive group.
I can hardly wait for my journey to start.
I am so ready for the weight to be off my chest.
