WORTH IT
I'm a Nurse, but I work in a doctors office and don't do any lifting really at all. So just short of 3 weeks off should be fine. Well today was my first day back and it totally knocked the wind out of me! I was so exhausted by about 2:30 I could barely concentrate on anything and the bouncing boobs as I walked up and down the office hallway countless number of times were so uncomfortable and swollen rock hard by the end of the day! Just when I think I'm fine and can do anything, my body tells me I need more recovery time. I'm still going to work tomorrow, but I need to find a way to lighten my load!

I know what you mean. Going back to work killed me. I am a nurse also and I work in the operating room. After the first week I was okay but those first few days I came home from work took a shower and went to bed. Take it easy and rest when you can. This healing takes a lot of work.

looking great! When does all this tiredness end? I got stuff I gotta do! Seriously though, I'll take tired over old boobs any day. I was going to go on a 4 hour road trip to visit friends and my new girls were like, "Sit your butt back down and take care of yourself."

The tiredness isn't so bothersome, but my house is a disaster! With working fulltime, and 2 toddlers, something has to give right???

So funny you say that! My house completely fell apart while I was laid up! It's just now starting to resemble something where civilized people dwell . . . .

Chafed nipples post op?

User Avatar

That small spot under my left nipple is healing up slowly, it's not a hole anymore but it's still open, a work in progress. Now I'm dealing with a chafed nipple! I guess my boobs move a little bit more freely in my sports bra and my one nipple is getting chafed. I currently have been putting Vitamin E and a bandaid on, but that will only heal it. As soon as I take the bandaid off, it'll chafe all over again! Who knew I'd be worrying about this!!! Lol!

I called Dr Shortts office this morning to see if I can get into see him. While I was waiting for a call back I went to my work to visit and had one of our doctors have a look at the open spot. She doesn't think it's infected, just that it didn't close up properly and needs to heal from the bottom up. She gave me a prescription antibiotic ointment and told me to keep it covered and it should heal pretty quick. She also gave me a prescription for an antibiotic to fill incase I need it over the long weekend. Not long after I got a call back from the PS office and he is on call all weekend. So if I need him he will see me. It doesn't look angry at all and doesn't hurt, but I'm glad I had it looked at!

You're looking wonderful . I sometimes look big now but when I put on my tops I look very small . I am a D cup from a G cup. Your final results aren't here yet . Just rest and allow your breasts to heal . Glad that little opening isn't serious .

Thanks a lot! I'm sure my brain isn't quite adjusted to the new girls yet either
