65 and I'm So Ready for This! - Huntington, WV

Had my pre op today. My breast lift is scheduled for Thursday but not sure it's going to happen. I've had the start of a cold for the last few days. The receptionist told me as long as it's not in my lungs I should be okay. I just hate to get there then find out they won't do it. I have to travel about an hour to the hospital. Really thinking of getting a hotel for night before. Has anyone else had an illness right before?
I really haven't been very nervous till I went for the pre op. Just seems so final now. I really hope he makes them smaller. I really wanted a reduction but he says I can get by with a lift and he'll take a little out. Insurance won't take care of anything because I don't have enough to remove. Very excited to get this over with!

I called yesterday and said i still wasn't feeling well and I had started coughing. She told me to wait till morning and see how I felt. Well I coughed all night, so I called this morning and said I needed to reschedule. I have just read too many posts that it isn't a good idea to go through with it if you are sick. So I am scheduled for next Thursday Feb 25th. I'm hoping i am over this by then, I know how colds can drag on.

Had the surgery for my breast lift yesterday. Came through just fine except I threw up a couple of times. A lot of anesthesia I think. I really have not had a lot of pain. I'm taking 500mg Tylenol instead of the percoset they gave me. How long did some of you take pain meds? I will take bandages off around 3 today. They said wait 24 hours after surgery but leave tape strips on then I can shower. Been in bed most of the time till I get this anesthesia out of my system. I'll update more pics after I remove bandages.
