23 Yrs Ols 32J, Going for This All Alone- Parents Disapprove!

Sorry for the lack of updates but nothing much has changed. Im progressing as usual. Things have softened up but they are still hard. I did 2 days of work and Im not experiencing any pain So im hoping to get back to full work very soon as my money has run low. Ive gained almost 7 pounds though so the sitting home and lazing about is no good. My belly has gotten bigger and im worried that the extra weight will impact how my breast heal and how they settle so I plan to go on a diet for june. My appointment on May 11th went well. Things are healing well and they cut the stitches that were poking out. That hurt really bad. The nurse had to use tweezers to lightly tug on the stitch so she can cut as close as possible but it felt like the stitch was going to rip out my boob! I hurt more than the drains. She realized that i was in pain so she just cut without pulling. after that everything has been smooth sailing. My next appointment is at the 6 week mark on June 8th. Time has flown by. My nipples are super itchy so Ive been applying anti-itch cream. Today i went to Target to return the first two bras i got. They are already a bit to loose and i can feel my breast floating around inside them. This means my swelling has gone down a bit. I decided to to an impromptu bra measuring and I am currently a 36D. I hope I swell down to a C but im pretty happy right now. I decided to let go of zipfront bras because they are too difficult to find. Most sports bras seem to be pull overs. So went to walmart and bought 2 simple bras for 5 bucks and one more black sports bra. At my next post op i will ask what i can do to reduce the scars. Ive heard about massages and silicone sheets. Ill see what he recommends. Other than that theres nothing else going on. See you guys at my next update!

Hello hello all! today makes 14 days post op. So from last week things were okay until friday night. I really hope i dont run into trouble every friday night. So it all started Thursday really. Thursday I wanted to do some laundry and I saw we had a new detergent. Publix brand with fabric softner in it, i went ahead and washed a load of laudry and all 3 of my sports bras in it. After I was done i wore the sports bra and shirt. Suddenly i felt some like itching on my breast. But it was very mild. Friday the itching became a bit more bothersome and a got a rash on my stomach, breast, and arms but my breast were the only place that was itching. Well friday night the itching kicked up a notch and was intense. I applied some hydrocortisone cream but that only gave me a small amount of relief. I was scratching in my sleep and scratching at the incisions which worried me because i felt so itchy i thought i might break the skin. Saturday morning the itching intensified. I looked at my breast and they were red hot. So i called the surgeon and asked him what should i do. He said to apply some hydrocortisone cream and asked me if I was using anything new. The detergent slipped my mind ( I didnt realize it could have been the detergent until later). He said to try some benadryl and if that didnt work than to call him back. Tried it, felt drowsy, fell asleep and woke up still with the itchies. i started trying to deduce why I had such a flare up. I suspected it may be the detergent. So i took off my sports bra and i instantly got a reduction in itching. I took all my sports bras and a few shirts and re-washed them in my regular detergent. I rinsed my breast with cool water and it felt so good! My breast were so red hot and tender. I got a significant reduction in itching but it was still there. So i called the surgeon back and he sent a script for Prednisone. When i got it I took all day 1 at once (pharmacist told me too). Within an few minutes the itching stopped. By day 2 the bumps went away. Im currently on day 4 and im doing well. The other issue im having is that the stitching around my cleavage get really tender. I have to occasionally unzip the front of my bra. My bloat has gone down a touch im now 32 inches. My feet swelling has decreased and is almost back to normal. I tried on a button up shirt that I bought in highschool. I always wore it with the first button unbuttoned and a camisole underneath because it couldnt button. But i tried it on and it buttoned right up with no stretching around the chest. I still have surgical glue on the incisions! I dont know when thats going to fall off. I tried peeling it and that hurt so I will leave it alone. My nest post op appointment is thursday the 11th.I have no idea why my pictures are being flipped by realself. oh well. The T incision near my left nipple is ever so slightly split. Nothing alarming though. But i am so in love with them. They are so perky and pretty. Im looking forward to how well I heal.

Feeling better and better day by day. BUT! im really need to take it easy. Because im feeling so good i do stupid things like put pots away and tried to walk my dog. No, no no. Monday night i tried to put pots and pans away and woke up sore as heck tuesday. So much so i had to take some advil. Then today my dad was supposed to walk my 60lbs labrador but he didnt and she kept whining to go pee. I didnt know what to do. If i let her out the back she'll chase and hurt the chickens and she's a leash puller. So i put the leash on her and tried to take her just to our front lawn to pee. She pulled just a bit (not as bad as she usually does and thankfully no squirrel were around). But even with her light pulls and we were only out there for 3 minutes my right breast is sore especially the lower incision near my armpit. Also I clean my cat litter every morning but the bending over isnt fun. As far as moving around squatting or just getting on my knees is way more comfy than bending over. Something about bending over just feels like my boobs are about to fall off. I finally took a shower yesterday, yaay! it went well. But my drain site became very sore. I dont know when those drains will stop persecuting me, they're not even there anymore! Drains are the gift that keep on giving. thats all for today. I will try driving soon, but i kinda like bumming around the house and sending people out to get things for me. Sorry not sorry haha.
