Ok so yesterday which was 4 days post op was the worse worse worse. All I can compare it to was a tearing feeling at the incision and I just couldn't take it. Worst day ever. I was about to rip my bandages off to see what the problem was. I slept with no bra Bc I couldn't take the bra rubbing against the incision. After my shower the bandages were just wet and itchy and I was getting so frustrated. So today 5 days post op I decided to just take them off and change them even tho I was told not to. I went to the store and got XL bandaids. when I took them off I felt fine. The incisions weren't even painful and they were healing nicely . So the whole time it was the BANDAGE irritating me which sucks Bc had I known that I would have switched to band aids way sooner. I now feel completely comfortable. I can stand up straight with out feeling like it's tearing. I think the old bandage was just stretching it or irritating it some how. Either way I'm glad I changed it against doctors orders because I'm more interested in my comfort and I don't think it really is going to negatively affect my breast :) I'm so happy now and almost pain free. I can't believe I was thinking my incision was in pain and it was really just the bandage. Follow your gut ;)

So I made the mistake of taking my Tylenol with Codiene religiously every 4 hours. I even had two alarms at night to take them and woke up so so sick. I haven't taken one since 4 am Bc I feel so horrible from it. Ladies remember only take them as needed instead of every certain amount of hours. I was sleeping fine so I really didn't need pain relief and that is a lesson learned. Anyways today it is easier to sit up and the main pain I am having is still the inscision area. Like its bad! It's feeling worse and worse and it burns. The bra they gave me makes it worse so I changed into a sports bra that isn't so tight around the band because that pain was so bad. I pretty much been in bed all day because I am still kind of shaking from the pills last night. Trying to flush myself out to rid these meds with water and ginger ale and it's kind of working. Also I have no appetite anymore which is weird Bc the night of surgery I ate pizza without a problem but now the thought of food makes me sick. Pretty much the way I feel is flu like symptoms but I know it'll be ok in a couple days. As for now I will continue with liquids and my antibiotics. No more pain pills

So it is now 2 days post op and I am in some pain. The first day was a breeze and the second day was uncomfortable but today it's pretty bad Bc I can feel it in my back. Feels like my ribs are broken lol. The part that hurts the most is under the boob where the incisions are. They are sooooo itchy and the band on this bra is making it hurt worse. I am taking my meds but it isn't making much of a difference which is weird because Tylenol 3 usually works wonders for me. I took my first shower today and was scared but it turned out fine. The bandages were wet so I blow dried them on cool after the showerBc I hate the feeling of being wet when I go to bed. They look so good and I am still very pleased. I will update at my 1 week mark after I get my stitches taken out and my new bra from his office. :)
