7 days post op check up
Cant believe its been seven days already.
Had my post of check up today. Surgeon said everything is as expected. He showed me how to massage to help them soften and drop. I was surprised that he advised only to push in from the side and down from the top. Not sure if this is due to the tear drop shape. He removed my stitches and scars are healing well. I have noticed them slowly getting softer a little each day. My left more so than my right. I do however feel that i need to buy a bigger bra now that i no longer need the compression as much, something just for the support. I dont want to be applying to much compression which may slow them from softening and dropping. Loving doing progress pics at the moment. Needless to say hubby is also loving seeing the progress pics...eager for me to arrive home in 7 days time. I head back to the hospital monday morning for one last check up before im off to the airport to head home.

Yesterday afternoon i was discharged back to my hotel as my bleeding jad subsided enough for the drains to be removed. I was still experiencing a fare bit of pain but and was a little shocked to see that i had only been given a miscle relaxent and paracetemol for pain releif. As well as sleeping tablet and a different pain killer for night. 4 am this morning of woke up in alot of pain. This pain subsided a fare bit when i released some of the pressure from the compression bra. From my understanding the bra is not suppose to cause further pain or discomfort, so i have loosened the bra enough to still provide compression and support but not to cause pain or discomfort. My next pain medication wasnt due untill after breakfast so i had to have a very early breakfast so i was able to take more pain relief. I contacted the hospital to express my concern of this period of pain between 4am and breakfast. The doctor send through a list of further meds and instruction i can pick up from the pharmacy to help with this.

Well had my BA yesterday. Final result was 390cc tear drop. In quite alot of pain. Feel like my rib cage if being crushed. I thought this would ease whe the pressure bandages come of but as soon as they put the compression bra on the pain comes back. I am being kept in for another night to manage pain and because im still loosing blood. They look huge at the moment from the swelling. It feel better when i am sitting up straigh th as it takes the pressure off my ribs.
