quick update, i have my one month appt with ps tomorrow and happy i do as my incisions have opened up on the bottom of my lollipops (under the boob) and while its not painful or infected its concerning. i went to our lil town hospital and they put the steri strips on them and my family doc was there and said i was healing nicely overall. i hope this doesn't derail my hopes of being cleared to exercise as i'm chomping at the bit to get started...i've started my diet already and just feel so blah without exercise! i want to join zumba which starts jan 20th! also i washed my surgical bra last night but my bra that i was wearing in the meantime (maternity breast feeding one cuz it was nkce and soft and comfy) is wayyyyyyyy too big now that some swelling has gone down so i put on the recovery bra i bought from a bra store (stupid purchase as i can't take it back) and it is miles too big too (40D) . so then i put on an old old bra i had from eons ago 38D and it was a bit snug around the bottom but the cup fit beautifully....crazy. so i just wound up putting on an old sports bra that i wear to exercise, uniboob one size one and it was great to sleep in...it was so awesome to see what it looked like with lil boobs in it...like i could wear it alone with no top while working out if i was skinnier and more confident. i seriously almost cried i was so happy. that has been one of those dreams that i have had since i was 16 and could not ever comfortably pull off...now once i lose another 20 lbs i can do it!!! and i will!

You did the same thing i did last night!! I didn't want to go to sleep in fear that I wouldn't wake up for the alarm. I know it's a loud one but i can sleep deep sometimes. I think i got 2 hours if that. I'm really tired now but a nurse keeps walking by and i wake up. Soon I shall get some sleep. I hope your appt. went well!

what a day...
got my third bad news today so at least that is out of the way...had my family dr appointment this morning to get my test results from blood taken two weeks ago and yes, i have rheumatoid arthritis. get to see a rheumatologist in january and go from there.
then off to the city but it was a good one...i think if healing were a sport i would be awarded a gold medal...and the ps cleared me to shower!!!
i have another follow up on jan 6th.
and i had the best 30 minute shower ever btw ;)

weirdest of weirds was when the ps took off my bra to inspect the incisions and get this, the girls didn't move!!! no drooping, no flopping, no nipples showing me which direction my shoes were!!! i don' t even mind that one nipple is a tad lower than the other...seriously. i had a flashback to grade eight when i got properly fitted for a c cup cuz they are that perky!!!
