36, Breast Reduction - Houston, TX

I have one spot that opened up and honestly I think its because I've been trying to do much. I'm sore. Feels like someone hit me in the chest. Occasionally, I get these sharp pains, like a pin prick in the boob. I've been sleeping A LOT lately. Yesterday, I took 2 naps--each at least an hour long.

I tried to go back to work last week--Tuesday. By noon, I was in the nurses office crying because I was tired and cranky and uncomfortable. She took me home and pretty much I have been in the bed for the last 5 days.

My last check up with my PS went well. He told me to continue to treat the spot with antibiotic and cover with gauze. He removed the stitches. Didn't hurt as much as I expected. I go back to work this Tuesday and I'm a little nervous. I don't want a repeat of last week.

Even with a few issues: This surgery was so worth it. I feel better about myself and my back doesn't ache when I walk.

Really felt like good when I got up this morning. I feel like I could go run or exercise. Haven't had any Vicodin since bedtime last night. My friend Melissa seems to think I have really high pain tolerance. Maybe?! But I feel really good today. M is going to take me home for a while. I don't know if I'll post pictures. I'm worried about having them online. I'm a teacher at a very conservative school and don't want them construed as [RS bleep]. I may take pictures when I put on normal clothes.

Feeling really good. Hate the way Vicodin makes me feel. Only taking Tylenol today.
