sensitive nipples/ new twins 4wks po

Ok well it's been a few days and a lot has happened. Earlier this week I was at work And my sports bra was really uncomfortable. So I took it off and went all shift with no bra. Lol imagine at my age going braless at work & nobody noticing! Woohoo! Then 2 days ago, I was having so much tenderness along the incision under the right breast. I looked with a mirror and there was an opening at the incision, a lot of yellow discharge and it was red and sore. I called the PS office & was told I was throwing a stitch. I was told to use warm compresses and ointment & cover the opening. Needless to say, I picked at it - removed that stitch and any others I could find with tweezers. I got quite a few out and used poly bacitracin. After just one night I felt much better. But removing the stitches was much like taking out an ingrown hair. That was truly the most uncomfortable thing to date. But still aft a couple of days it's ok. Next week will be my follow up appt and hopefully I get released to get back to the gym with no restrictions. I'm 4 wks po yesterday and happy so far.

Also the dark markings on the Left nipple are the last of the glue. I lifted up the edges but it brought a little blood to the surface so I am leaving it alone. Most has come off and I'm really happy with the scars. Sorry about the blurry photos, but my daughter freaked out when I tried to use her camera - lol I was going to erase them after I uploaded them. LOL traumatized teenager!

Ok I'm now PO day 19, it really has gone fast. I went back to work last night and found out just how physical my job is. I was sore when I got home; the muscles really tightened up on my chest after a whole night of working... even the doors were heavy to open. I took a muscle relaxer and 2 advil and slept really well. I just feel stiff this morning and am starting to notice new stretchmarks appearing around my nipples. I use Vitamin E oil a few times a day and will pick up some palmers cocoa butter and the scar strips at CVS (thanks Mothera8). The nipple sensitivity has cut back from full time to just later in the evenings now. But by the end of my shift last night I was really feeling it. Looking forward to getting those strips before work this afternoon.

I slept without a sports bra the last 2 nights. Almost back to sleeping on my side; still propped up a little bit tho. My left side is kind of square shaped on the side and the PS mentioned it at my 1 week visit that it is due to swelling. I am hoping as the implant moves down it will fill it out better. Ya it bothers me but I'm trying to be optimistic as I know I won't see final result for at least another month or two.

I'm missing going for my workouts, although I did take a long walk on Easter. Only a couple more weeks until my 1 month po visit when hopefully she will clear me to get back to the gym. I am going to Sedona AZ in early May and want to be ready to hike those beautiful red rocks.
