Oh What A Little Draining Can Do

So I couldn't take it anymore and called my PS office this morning. They immediately told me to come in this afternoon and not wait until Wednesday. So before I went I took my pain pill just in case I was going to have stitches take out or be drained. Once I got there and the PS nurse took a look, I looked so good she had to ask if I had my stitches out already. I told her we trimmed some but they had not been removed. She said it looked as though I had and that they were doing great dissolving on their own, but I may needed to be drained. She left and my PS came back in with her and checked and sure enough I needed draining. SO GLAD I took that pain pill. This time they drew out 80cc's from right breast alone!! She said no wonder you were so sore and she said I had a small opening where. My stitch under neath was separating because my breast was so full. Then she drew out 3 cc's from my left breast. She told me to use some Polysporin on the small spot that it will heal,on its on and not to use neosporin because over time it will irritate the spot and cause it to become infected. She said I looked great otherwise and that I was healing great told me to keep using the Bio Oil and Arnica Gel. I can tell you this lady is great, I felt so much better afterwards and actually the draining didn't hurt at all. So glad she doesn't use the drains since they leave those ugly holes on the sides and hurt like hell when it's topime for them to come out.

So she said to come back on Friday so they can check to see there isn't any more fluid building up. She said I was very smart to call and not waiting to Wednesday. So if you don't feel right CALL.

Set backs and Soreness

Day 13 and tried to get out a bit. Still having pain, oozing, and soreness in my right breast. Stayed in all day and used my arnica gell and took pain meds. Ready to see my PS Wednesday to make sure everything is okay. I thought for sure I'd be further ahead. Maybe sleeping in my bed wasn't a good idea after all.

Aspirations!

Well went in for my PS to check out the squishy sound and sure enough had to have excess fluid removed. Yep out comes that huge needle, so glad I got up took my shower ate a little breakfast and took my phenergan and Percocet. I totally didn't feel any discomfort. My breast were huge by the time I had gotten to her, so she took about 3cc of fluid from the right and about 1 1/2cc from the left. I have to admit they really felt so much better afterwards. They were so tight and uncomfortable under my armpits. She wasn't ready to remove all my stitches from around the nipples so she had the nurse to trim the stitching where they were poking out. All in all she said they look great and I can start using the anti brushing cream and my Bio Oil. She said no bandages necessary other than for oozing from today. She told me to come back next Wednesday and she would see if we need to repeat the process. By then she'll totally remove the stitches. Since I was pretty mellow from the pain med, I failed to ask her if I could go back to sleeping in my bed. Decided I'll give it one more week and then back to my bed I am going, this recliner is getting old. My PS said over time that my breast will come into their natural shape so don't go buying bras for another two weeks. I am good with that, it'll give me more reason to cruise shop for new clothes and sexy bras come July! Lol! I will definitely say today was a good day!
