Looking Forward to Moving on - Liverpool, UK

Much more comforable now! getting a little itchy and my sports bra I bought was a B cup and it seems too small right now, swelling no doubt. So I am wearing my pre explant sports bra which is more supportive on my back and sides. My left nipple is a little sunken and my right breast which had the rupture has a sort of shelf of skin a kind of fold in it but It is too early to know what they will end up like. I am almost fully mobile I just get a little tired and dont want to strain much so still relaxing for the next week or so. I had a bath last night and felt great to remove the DVT socks and have a nice wash but still keeping my breasts dry... roll on the day when i can have a full shower and wear a nice bra.

Had my drains out today, It wasnt as bad as i had expected but I had worked myself up so much before that I was shaking a crying by the time they where done, but it wasnt that bad. I was so relieved to have them out, I couldnt do much with them hanging from me. I am feeling alot better, the pain is fine, still taking my pain killers on a regular basis but thats to control it. i have had a look at my breasts and they arent looking too great right now but i dont want to focus too much on it right now, i just want to recover first. I am not regretting the removal, but I am regretting the implants all togerher, If i knew what i would have to go through for the removal, I wonder would It have still been worth it.

I dont know how I feel emtionally yet, I feel numb in that way. Onwards and upwards is the only way.

Had my op 2 days ago, I am not in too much pain but I have got drains coming from the wounds to drain out any fluids which i have t to keep in for a few more days. It doesnt hurt but i am quite uncomfortable, I cant get a bath until the drains are out and have to sleep on my back, plus i cant really go out with these too bags that i have to carry each side of me like shopping.

The doctor too pictures of the implants after removal. the right one was ruptured and my right breast is a little more painful as the doctor had to give it a thorough clean. I am on pain killers but I am not in terrible pain and I am generally more comfortable and less sickly than when I had the implants inserted. My mouth has a few ulcers which isnt helping but I am getting there. I havent looked at the breasts yet, I am waiting for the drains to come out before I have a look. But I will keep you posted, Thank you for your well wishes [RS bleep]
