11 days post op
Saw my surgeon two days ago (Wednesday) and he informed me that I didn't have to wear the surgical bra anymore. Whoo hoo! Went bra shopping today (Friday the 17th) for some sports bras. Adidas was having a sale so I purchased 5. The large size fits comfortably. I'm healing nicely despite my skin affliction. Still stiff in certain areas but beginning to settle and feel like normal breasts again. The upper quadrant of my right areola still has minimal sensitivity. Meanwhile my left areola and left, right, and underside quadrant of the right are hypersensitive. Doc says the feeling well return. Paying very close attention to it offer the next few days. In 5 days, I've been cleared to bike. Next appointment with my surgeon is at the end of July. At this point, it's smooth sailing minus the itchiness of the incisions ????.
Sleeping on my back has gotten considerably easier. I purchased a small backrest pillow from Wal-Mart for $17.88, was able to find a comfortable way to position myself on it, and haven't looked back. A recliner would have been amazing but the backrest is a decent cheap alternative (for me anyway) ????????

Shower! I feel human again. It's almost like I washed away a layer of film. Regular unscented soap (Dove for sensitive skin) and water is all the doctor ordered. Good thing I already use those ????????. Didn't have help today changing my gauze pads but with a bit of patience I got the job done. It wasn't bad either as I'm not in pain and haven't taken a pain pill in over 24 hours. Still a bit stiff. But there is sensation in both breasts and in the areola region so I'd say SUCCESS! on my right side there's still somenumbness in the small area where the drain was removed (don't feel the PrimaPore adhesive on removal from just the posterior side). Going to call up and ask about it tomorrow if it persists. But I'm sure it's nothing.
Going for a walk soon, drinking fluids and enjoying relaxing.
Also did my hair in some really nice finger coils. They took a while and my arms got tired but there was no pain from having my arms up for so much time. WINNING!
Ok super wordy update.
I'm done now. PICTURES !!!

Provider Review
So far so great with Dr. Matros. He almost made me cry at my consult. The level of understanding , concern, and almost sympathy (he did have to remain professional as it was my first time meeting with him) he showed me made me slightly emotional. And I am not one for waterworks. I am feeling superbly confident in his abilities and am putting my trust in him.
