And I'm one month post op! Sorry for the iffy quality, I'm in the middle of a move and am writing this fast. I feel amazing and I love how I look. Had a couple spots where sutures were sticking out that didn't want to heal but now they're doing okay. Nothing negative to say really, besides not being able to lift things and stretching can still hurt underneath. Otherwise, I'm wearing "normal" bras, shopped for some cute clothes, and have the vote of approval from my boyfriend. Got some new scar gel to start using to encourage the scars to fade in, but we're good to go otherwise!

Still a bit sore and tender, but I'm feeling so much better! I've noticed that if a spot gets uncomfortable, I just toss a bit of salve on it and it feels better quickly. I'm still bruising pretty badly so I'm cutting out caffeine and intaking a lot of citrus and other fruits for the next couple weeks. Scars are forming nicely, white and flat, and scabs have mostly fallen off except at the junctions where they're not quite healed all the way. It's really hard to remember that I'm still not supposed to lift heavy things and that I need to keep resting! Some days I am completely full of energy but sometimes I still wake up drained and tired. We're getting there, though.

Well, I've been very tender and sore this week and the healing has kind of plateaued. I've been having spitting sutures, where they work themselves off, pretty frequently. Talked to my granddad who was a surgeon and he said that some patients have bodies that just don't accept internal stitches, and his best guess as to why I'm healing a bit slower than I thought is that my body is having a bit of a hissy fit over some of them. It's actually relieving to hear that because I was really confused as to why I was suddenly getting sore spots here and there. No redness or signs of infection, so I'm not concerned, just grumpy about it.
