47 Yr Old, 5'4", 125 Lbs, Planning on 500 Cc Saline High Profile Under Muscle - Geneva, IL

Well, I'm 2 days out now. ..Happy Thanksgiving, btw...this will just be a quick update...the swelling is much better today....not that i felt super swollen before, but they don't feel as tight today. I got to see them unwrapped finally since I got to shower today. ..the shower felt great. ..the boobs, well they still look really weird...as expected. ..and I'm super worried they are uneven...but time will tell for sure i guess....i got to put on a more comfy bralette today....i actually feel better with them bound up a bit than loose right now....they aren't ready to hang free quite yet....LOL. Still bloated and bound up. ..back still bothering me too....other than that, things are good. :0)

Well, aside from my back, i still feel really good today....it's probably actually a good thing my back is messed up because I'd probably have overdone it today otherwise. I wanted to clean and do laundry....i hate sitting around. I also washed my hair in the sink and took a sponge bath without help...made me feel a bit more normal....
I went to get my dressings changed today. I was excited to see them but only got to see them laying down. ..they looked like torpedoes from that angle....lol. tomorrow i get to shower so I'm excited about that; i will actually get to see them standing up! These suckers are still riding really high today....but i expected that.
My doggie is taking good care of me. ..keeping me company and is being very protective of me with the cats...anytime a cat comes near me, he runs them off....lol...
I have some serious belly bloat going on today. I took a laxative and it didn't help. I think I'm going to stop taking the Norco...i think i can get by without it now...if i have trouble sleeping later I'll take it, but otherwise don't plan on it....

Surgery went well, all things considered...lol....let me explain.....first of all, i recruited me son to come get me. ...he is super sweet, but not the best driver. ..i became more afraid of this than the procedure at this point. ..lol. ..then, yesterday, of all days, my back went out....seriously. upper right back. ..Dr kopolovic said it's my trapezius muscle....he said he could feel it spasming...freaking ouch!!! this is currently the only pain i have. I was hoping the anesthesia and drugs would loosen it up but it hasn't. I made it to surgery center by 6 am...i went in the Dr's assistant, Bobbie which was super nice...helped keep me calm i think. Had an EKG once i got there...got weighed (i had only gained 1 lb since last time i was weighed which i was super happy about since I've eaten like all the Halloween candy in the world lately i think. ..lol...i was 124 today), signed more paperwork than when i was buying my house....lol...met the anesthesiologist and asked for a muscle relaxer for my back. ..declined because he wasn't sure if i had more paperwork to sign or not...then dr kopolovic came in and said hi. He's very cheerful and friendly. I really like him a lot. I feel in good hands with him. He said yes, let them give you something! So, the anesthesiologist and a nurse came back, put something in my IV, wheeled me out of the little holding room, in to the hall....and lights out! I didn't even see the surgery room! Zzzzz....nothing....no memory after....i vaguely remember waking up....getting dressed....very vaguely....then they wheeled me to a nice little waiting area where i was able to sit in a chair, look at the nice sunny day out the window, drink some coffee, and eat some applesauce and shortbread cookies...yum...my son, Clayton then showed up. ..they went over post op instructions with us, and let us leave. ..Clayton pulled the car to the door (my car mind you) and they wheeled me out. ..this where he proceeded to back up over the curb. ..lol. ..omg, it started already. ..like i said, way more afraid of the 40 minute ride at this point....but we made it with no major mishaps...a few frightening moments, but not terrible. Luckily i was still groggy and not fully aware...but i was still like; "slow down, don't follow so closely, don't break so quickly, etc"....lol...terrible back seat driving. ...poor kid. ..ha ha. Got my rx's picked up, and home in one piece...sitting on heating pad for my back, but the said no ice, no heat for my boobs. ..no IBU or tylenol...norco only. Throat is a little sore, chest a little tight but not bad. ..i had tons of saggy skin so no big deal for these implants i guess as far as that goes. ..no lifting, bending, straining, stooping...light meals only. They said nothing spicey but since i put chicken tacos in the crock pot this morning, i ignored that rule...it smelled so good and i was starving....ha ha...no showers or getting the dressing wet....no alcohol (drats! I could use a drink!), and keep the compression garment on...that's about it. If my back weren't screwed up, I'd be feeling great. I am seriously already wishing i had gone with the bigger implants. ..such a chicken i became. ..but it's all good. ..i still got boobs! Yea! :0)
