Photos

I can't figure out how to caption these images. The first image is my 4 week post op. Everything else is from 3 weeks.

1 month post op

I'd say I'm about 99% fully recovered. If it weren't for the pulled muscle I got 1.5 weeks post op I'd probably be 100%. I'm feeling the need to take it easy but it's something that's much easier said than done. Especially with a two and four year old keeping me busy. My right breast is still riding a little high and I'm guessing it's because I'm right arm/hand dominate. I am thrilled to be able to finally sleep peacefully at night. My right breast bothers me from time to time. Nothing serious but it's way more sensitive than my left when it comes to massages and my overall recovery. I have some older photos to add from my 3 week post op that I meant to but didn't get around to posting up till now.

14 days post op

Since my last appointment with my PS I've been now wearing my surgical bra with the band on the top of my breasts vs. bottom. I hate it. I need to keep it tight enough so that it helps my breasts settle but I have to be super careful that the fabric underneath doesn't bunch otherwise I end up with these indents that can be painful from time to time. Also my right nipple is super itchy. I'm assuming it's because things are trying to heal.

Today I went to Wal-Mart to find a cheap zip up sports bra. I grabbed both a L and XL and couldn't help but laugh a little when I zipped the L up and it unzipped itself every time I tried. So XL it was! Haha. It was awesome.

For fun I also pulled out an old swim top to try on. I'll post some pics.
