No More Messing Around with the Girls, They Have to Go! - New Mexico

I am 19 days out and I feel pretty damn good!!! lol I had a little bit of a rough week though. I wasn't in pain to much I was just tired and slept A LOT. It was the most I have slept since my surgery. Boy it felt good to do it. I am glad my mom is still here to help out. I had my 2 week appointment on Tuesday. I got my stiches out and oh my goodness, that felt so good for a couple of reasons. 1) because they come out 2) as they came out it scratched all the itches I had under the skin. If there was a way to wind a bunch of the stitches string under the skin I would do it over and over, it was like scratching a misquito bite very satisfying!!!. Getting them out smarted a bit though because they were embedded in the skin and she had to dig them out. My nipples are getting better. I still have to put gauze and neosporin over them. The tape is really uncomfortable, it gets old fast. I itch all the time but I would say that 90% of it is from the tape. I don't have any allergeries to it, it is just itchy. I have tried different types but it doesn't matter. I am feeling really good. The swelling has gone down enough to make a difference. Their shape veries from day to day, so I don't think abut that part. I am just focused on getting my nipples back to normal. She said that I willl probably not lose all the right one. It is healing better then it looked like it was going to in the begining. I was releaved to hear that all the black will come off and if there is some dead parts it will just be a very slight change in color. I thought it would be black forever LOL. The pain is just about gone, I do get uncomfortable in the evening about 6 or 7. That is the time I find out if I over did it for the day and know how the next day will be. I would say the worst thing going on now is the gunk coming off my nipples. Who knew that such a small area could produce so much yucky stuff lol. I have to change the gauze twice a day instead of just the once she wanted me to do. I don't go back to see her for two weeks this time. I have finally started sleeping in my bed again. It is GREAT to sleep on my side and my tummy!
Well I guess that is about all the updates. I will do it again in a few days when it's week 3. Happy Easter!

Man I am bummed right now. I had an update almost done and I hit some key on my keyboard and erased it all GRRRRRRRRR! It is 12:45 am and I have to go to work in the morning so I will do a full update tomorrow, which is later today, but for now I will post my new pictures taken at 14 days post-op.

Hi there Ladies, I have wanted to update for a couple of days now but I have been so tired it just didn't happen. Well I went back 2 days ago to see my PS for my first follow up. She took off my yellow nipple covers. I was excited to see them and look at the stitches. My left nipple looked realy good nice and pink and all ready popping back out. From the view of that side it looked like a nice cone shaped. The right side was not so good. It had a few black spots and she is worried about my loosing it. As she was looking at it she was peeling the top layer off and she was shaking her head. She said not to worry about it, that we will watch it and see what it will do. There is nothing I didn't do, nothing I could have done, it is just the luck of the draw. I knew that there was a 50 50 chance of this happening. She said we will deal with as we can if it does happen. I guess a normal thing to do at this point is to put neosporin on gause and tape it over the nipples. Well yesturday which was the next day after my appt. the nice pink side was turning darker like on the way to black. This morning when I changed the gause, I thought it was darker even more, not as dark as the other side but I am still watching it. Other than that, She said that every thing looked realy realy well. Next week I go back and get my stiches out. It felt so good to get the tape off. I am still very swollen and it itches so bad. the ice packs works wonders with soothing the itching away. I went back to work on Monday. My mom is still here to pick the baby up and down for me. My days are good up until about 5 when I get uncomfortable and need to take my bra off for about 20 mins. I get really tired and run out of umpffff, it's time to start calling it quits for the day. I'm loving my new ta-tas can't wait until I can go shopping. I have added new pictures at my one week mark.
