5 DAYS POST OP!!!

Every time I have surgery I am amazed again at how fast our bodies pick themselves up and put themselves back together again. Each day is better than the one before. I am still: 1) bed-resting 24 hours a day, apart from quick forays to toilet, shower, kitchen; 2) taking pain meds and antibiotics on schedule; 3) sleeping and dozing a lot. And that's it. Just letting the time pass.
I have been sleeping on my side the past two nights and finding it very comfortable. That bed-wedge system for back-sleeping? Very comfortable too, but back-sleeping is meh and side-sleeping is surprisingly doable; so the bed-wedge system has gone out to the shed for a long holiday. Each morning after I shower and wash my hair, I replace my pillow-cases, PJs and bath towel, throw the used ones in the wash, and get back into bed! It's a lazy life, though up until today I was really very zonked and needing to sleep after the exertion of showering.
I have tried on the bras I wore for my 'before' pics and will attach the 'after' pics for your astonishment. For me, any soft cotton seamless sports crop top is good, and so are those cheap genie-bras from target, but to be honest with you i'll only be putting on a bra if there's a social requirement (like going to work).

Wowza! Looking good. Very exciting to read. How was the drive home?
March 21, 2016
Drive home was good - the pillow between me and the seatbelt made the difference! But I was tired and dozing, and not much company for my husband, poor fella. I slept 12 hours straight on my first night at home, 10H!
March 21, 2016
Wow that is impressive! I'm worried about a 10km drive home so I was worried about your trip! (I'm doing day surgery so I have to drive home that day. Well I personally won't be driving of course). You must be so relieved that's it's done! I CANNOT wait!!
March 21, 2016
well, i had three nights in hospital before the drive home....don't know how much i would have enjoyed the drive on the same day as surgery! but 10km shouldn't give you any problems.
March 21, 2016
Wow Rosa, looking great!!! You must be over the moon?!
March 24, 2016

I am so happy with my new boobs, my surgeon really listened and took me way down to almost flat (as close to it as was possible, anyway). Last night I wasn't aware of much but this morning, when I saw them, was amazing! So now I am up and in my own PJs, carting drains around but otherwise free to roam. Hospital overnight again tonight, and then home!! 3kgs lighter!

Yay! So pleased for you Rosa!! Finally you're with us in Smallboobtopia ;-)
So how long are you in bandages? When will you get to see them? Are you in any pain? Are the drains filling much?
Ix x
March 17, 2016
no pain ix, and the drains aren't filling much, don't know if that's good or bad??? no bandages either, just a soft crop top 'bra', i have SEEN them and they're tiny. love them!
March 17, 2016
Mine didn't fill much either so I assume that's good!
Oh I'm sooooooo happy for you :-))))))

THE DAY???? part 1

Gals it's just after 6, i am sitting here having my light breakfast of toast and marmalade, thinking of depechemodegirl who will also be up and ready for her br today in the same city. Wish we were at the same hospital too, would be kinda fun i think!
I'm not used to eating breakfast on the morning of surgery. Feels wrong but i won't argue because it's also delicious.
