40 Year Old- Waited 25 Years for This Day! New York, NY

I'm a 40 year old school teacher, mother of two. My whole life I was uncomfortable with the size of my breast. This was the third time in 8 years I went for a consultation hoping my insurance will cover this so needed procedure. My prayers were finally answered and in two weeks I received a called from my doctor telling me I had been approved. I was in shock, totally didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
I had my surgery on Friday September 18th. It's been five days and I must say I'm not in any pain. I'll break up the days so that it's easy to follow.
Day 1- I arrived at the hospital at 6am for my 7:30 am procedure. I felt very calm and excited, my mom and niece went with me. The nurses and anesthesiologist were extremely patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. They took they're time to answer all my questions and were very warm. My doctor met me and seemed as excited as I was. We had met 3 days prior to go over everything about the procedures and she answered all the questions I could think of. She did the necessary markings and assured me I would see her again once I woke up and I would be in no pain and remember nothing. I was then transferred to the OR and last thing I remember uh my surgeon asking if I had a list of movies to watch once I got home. I woke up about 3 hrs later and my mom was already sitting next to me. She and my niece told me my doctor met with them and told them I would be extremely happy and all was well. I stayed in recovery for about 2 hours and then went home. Once at home I was up and about. The meds didn't make me drowsy so I stayed up Til bed time. That night I woke up about every 3 hrs to use the bathroom due to the ivy fluids but I wasn't in any pain.
Day 2- I woke up around 7 am after getting up throughout the night to use the bathroom. I also slept little BC I had to sleep on my back. My mom helped with a sponge bath. Discomfort when lifting arms but not real pain. At night I again got up a few times to use the bathroom.
Day 3- Felt even better! Ate regular meals and even sat outside and walked to the pharmacy 3 blocks away. I took my meds but never really felt pain. I forgot to mention I HAD NO DRAINS my doctor believe I didn't need it, I believe this has made everything easier.
Day 4- Went for my post-op. My doctor removed the dressings and was very happy with my results. She told me I could wear a comfortable bra with no underwires if I want to. I go back in two weeks to removed two stitches and any surgical tape that hasn't fallen off while showering. I showered once I got home! Again no pain. Slept much better at night.
Day 5- no pain but felt very tired today. My doctor said I would feel this way and it's normal during recuperation.
Day 6- today I feel really tired of being home. I can't wait to drive. Tomorrow I'll ask my doctor is it's ok to do so. I finished I antibiotics today and have only been taking pain meds before bed time as instructed by my doctor.

I can see a big difference on the shape my breast are taking today, I'm very happy with it. Did not feel as much tingling but do feel tired still. I reached out to my doctor about driving and she gave me the green light to do so as long as I haven't taken my meds since bedtime the night before. I drove carefully and felt comfortable doing so. It felt really great! I also asked about the itching, I was told to try cold compress and avoid showers that are too hot. Apparently hot water makes it worse. I was also told I could take an antihistamine but I'll try not to.

It's being a week and I'm feeling great. Haven't felt need to take pain meds in two days and actually got to sleep better. I went shopping for tops today and was very happy in the fitting room. I can see my waist!
