Bad day
Feeling pretty depressed today. My breasts still feel like foreign alien rocks, and feel huge and widely spaced. I can't sleep comfortably, and wake up with horrible back pain. I just want to feel normal again.
Day 4
Onto Day 4 post op. Definitely noticing some changes. They still feel like hard rocks on my chest, but certain areas are feeling softer to the touch. I have pretty much full range of motion in my arms. I'm able to shower, wash and blow dry my hair, etc. I get tired much more quickly than normal, however.
The biggest shock has been the mental fogginess from both the GA and the narcotics. I just can't think clearly and get emotional and nauseous at the drop of a hat. I stopped taking the percocets more than 24 hours ago, and am just taking Tylenol during the day and a Valium before bed to help me sleep. I hate sleeping elevated and on my back! Can't wait to comfortably sleep on my side.
It is definitely a mind trip looking at myself in the mirror. After hating my breasts for more than 15 years, it's crazy to look at them and think they look nice, even with the bruises, scars, and swollen skin.
I am so glad I went with a smaller sized implant. I think it has eased my recovery, and once the swelling is down they will be exactly what I want-small(ish), perky breasts and a wonderful shape.
I go back to work Tuesday and am nervous to do so. I have been relying on naps to get me through the day, and won't have that option at work. I guess I will play it by ear and just listen to my body.

Staying on top of meds
Officially on day 2 post op. Slept like a baby last night. Made sure to set me alarm to take the appropriate meds to that my discomfort didn't get out of control.
I don't know how I would function without my husband. He has been such a great caretaker. I've been eating lots of pineapple, taking arnica tablets and applying arnica gel. Mainly taking it easy with periods of walking around the house every couple of hours. I have pretty good range of movement in my arms. Can still hurt in right arm when I push it too far.
My boobs definitely feel HUGE right now due to the swelling. My husband keeps reassuring me that they will settle down. I do not want big boobs so I hope they go down quite a bit. How long until the major swelling goes away?
Haven't had the dreaded boobie Blues, but I'm sure I will eventually. Being mentally prepared for any and all potential outcomes has helped tremendously with recovery so far. Morning time is the worst as far as pain. Trying to sit up and get out of bed is the hardest due to the tightness in my chest.
Thanks for everyone who went before me and shared their experiences...it prepared me well for what's to come.
