First day back at work, 19 days post op

  • 19 days post
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!

Chafed nipples post op?

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!

I've not had one issue with Dr Shortt or his team. I know many doctors in my profession and he his as courteous as they come. He cares about my happiness with the final result, even though I went through OHIP and made that a priority. His staff are excellent and very helpful. The reason there are a couple of 4 stars are when I had a wound issue on a Thursday before a long weekend, I called in the morning, I did hear back from Dr Shortts secretary a few hours later and Dr Shortt would have seen me the next day, but I'd already had the issue addressed by a doctor I work with. I'm very happy and will be returning for a lower body lift in the next year!
