I decided to give ambien a go because I'm 3 weeks out and having insane burning sensations all over the surface of my breasts, and it keeps me from sleeping, but it isn't deep pain - just discomfort. I cut the ambien in half and just take one half at bedtime and it works perfectly. I slept soundly and woke up feeling rested. I do have to admit that moving to an upright position was a little uncomfortable at first because I've laid totally still (well propped up about 45 degrees) all night long, and sitting straight up shifts the weight of what's left of my breasts from the chest wall to the lower portion of the breasts themselves. The discomfort only lasts a few moments and it's well worth getting a good nights rest. I plan to only take the ambien once every 2-3 nights so that I don't get used to it, but I do get at least a few nights of good rest because you can't heal without it.

It went well minus my bp being up some, I take it was from me trying to play big shizz and traveling on my own on the train and walking two blocks. I was told that I was healing fine and the space in the middle of my chest will puff out. Right now I definitely don't look like a d cup. More like a little c because they are high on my chest and the bottom as the settle, and with my long torso I look funny lol.

Anyway, I told him how I have not got one night of complete sleep yet, even on the percocets. He wanted to prescribe me sleeping pills, but I declined. I will find some natural option.
So I left with another refill of percocets, and was told to sleep upright for about a month (booooooooo) and to start rubbing my scars with my oil or whatever of choice. I followed everyone else and got the Palmers Vitamin E oil.. I'm not really leaking much anywhere, just little spots here and there around the nipple and on my sides where the drains were.

I decided tonight I decided to take 2 percocets than the usual one I was taking and maybe an hour and a half later took another because I was tossing and turning. That 3rd one definitely stopped it.. literally. I was awake in and out but my body remained in one postion. Like I was glued to the bed. Trippy!! But still.. no complete sleep..

Pfffth..

So today I had a job interview..

I didn't make it..

Everything was great until I started to get dressed, the pressure hit me. It felt like someone sat straight on my chest. I started to think about how I would feel to hop in a cab, get on the train, and walk two blocks feeling like this. I had to wave the white flag. I had to email them in hopes that they can reschedule me. But right now, I'm in no position to do much. Even a new pain popped up on the side of my ribs. SMH today is not my day to leave this house. I'm also down to my last Percocet.
