Healing Right Along
I can't express how grateful I am for everyone supporting me on here. I was feeling really good this morning, but I made the mistake of going out and trying to do normal activities. I really needed my AA meeting, so I went. (I guess since I am anonymous on here I feel comfortable enough mentioning it on here) But afterwards I felt exhausted and in so much pain. I went ahead and got a refill on the pain meds, after beating myself up over it since I am in recovery. My friends in the program all told me that if I am still in pain, I should absolutely take the meds. I haven't abused them or anything, just taken them as needed/as prescribed.
My emotions are nuts. This whole process is a huge factor of course, but mostly it just makes me crazy to be in my house so much. I've had company and learned how to be a TV watcher, but I get so restless. It's totally worth it though. I'm kind of crazy for now, but I had this surgery which is amazing.
Yesterday I had a slight identity crisis. I was afraid of that happening. It was a mild sense of "who am I without my huge boobs??" but it passed and I was able to recognize it as just a feeling, not a fact about who I am. I was never my boobs haha. I am still me.

Day 3 Post Op
Things are improving and healing! I'm not having anymore nausea, vomitting or headache. Although I am constipated as expected. Drinking prune juice, eating whole grains, citrus fruits, fish. I did have my little emotional breakdown last night.
My good friend and my mom were here helping me and I just could not get over feeling bad for asking them for too much. It really is a good test of surrender and letting go of that self-sufficiency attitude.
I've got the frozen peas on the girls, and I have been on top of my meds. Only a couple times did the pain get really excruciating before I could take another pain pill.

Sounds like you are on track feeling all the things I felt. I guess since we "chose" to have this surgery (unlike a medical emergency) the guilt and selfish feelings take a toll on us and our emotions. There is so much going on with your body right now that it is hard to sort things out.....as they say "this too shall pass". We are all here for you to lean on for whatever reason.......

You are so right. It makes me feel so selfish and self-centered to go through it and especially ask others for recovery help. I'm so grateful for the experience, strength and hope on here. Thank you for your love and kindness!

Glad to hear you're feeling a little better. Did they not give you Phenergan? It'll knock you out, but you won't be throwing up. Ah, you poor dear!

Hey!! Well, at first they had me taking Zofran but it really wasn't working too well. So I called the nurse line and they filled Promethazine for me and that one had been so much better. That one causes drowsiness too, but it's been nice because I'm typically such a busy body and never sleep lol. And I know I NEED all the sleep I can get now! Thanks so much for checking on me!
