I feel so silly, I just figured out how to input and add pictures. Had my BA 8 Dec. will post pics from day with bandages and one day post op. I think I may have one from day two but there wasn't much of a change.

There really hasn't been any changes from day one until now, week one. Swelling has gone down some but they still feel tight. I've been off the pain meds since Sat evening and am doing well with just taking my antibiotics. Have my one week follow up tomorrow, 16 Dec so I think that's when I will learn how to massage. I'm hoping that will help them to drop and fluff as I'm still high. I'm hoping the massage won't hurt but I think it will because I'm still hard and tight up top. To all my sisters that have recently had their BA, getting ready to have their BA, or a few months or years into their BA, hang in there as we are all in this together. Happy healing to all my sisters ;-)

Coffee intake

I have a dumb question, so I apologize upfront. I had my BA a week ago and I normally have one cup of coffee each morning. I've stopped the Valium and Hydrocodone as the pain is not bad and I don't like taking them if not needed. So I'm just taking antibiotics so is it okay to go back to my one cup of coffee a day?
