I went to my 4 day follow up with Dr Ronald Friedman and his amazing team yesterday! I live over an hour away and we left early for traffic. So we got to the appointment 45 minutes early and they went ahead and got me in. How nice is that, right!?!? That never happens!!!! He said I was looking good and told me to start my exercises of pushing up only. I am amazed at his work. I have seen pictures of other women in this community that are bruised from ribs to chest. They also have all these band contraptions and restricting bras. I am proud to say the only bruise I obtained was from my IV placement!!! I also don't have to wear any of those crazy things to push or pull on my new boobies!!! Don't hate ladies but my doctor is amazing and if you would have gone to him you would be as braless and bruiseless just like me!!! ???? oh did I mention that I don't have to wear a bra until I drop to my desired placement.......I am one happy girl!!!! I did go shopping yesterday!!! Can you believe it 4 days out and I'm going like I never had surgery. ????

Ugh!! By far the worst!! Day 3 started with a throbbing headache! By the end of the day it was constant and debilitated me!! It could have been from a number of things, the keflex, hydrocodone, or dehydration. I had been taking a laxative everyday with no relief. When I woke up this morning the headache was gone ( I stopped the hydro and pushed fluids all night) however I had the worst stomach cramps! Let's just say the laxative finally worked!!! Today has been better but I have no energy. We went to the grocery store and that wore me out.

The tenderness/pain is 25% better today. The only time it really hurts is going from lying down to sitting then trying to scoot off the bed. My hubby bought me one of those real expensive 4-in-1 pillows from brookstone. In my personal opinion it was not worth it. I tried sleeping on it a week before surgery. Was not real comfortable but did it anyways. Well last night we put it in bed and it hurt so bad lying on it. My husband ended up folding 2 down comforters together and 3 pillows placed perfectly around me. This felt the best. He sat an alarm to give me my pain pills in the middle of the night. To be honest I slept great! I got up this morning and supervised while he got the kids dressed for daycare. I keep doing my deep breathing. My breast feel like I did when I was breastfeeding, super engorged. That feeling like if I don't get to feed or pump my boobs will just pop. I will post again soon.
