5 week update - Tucson, AZ

So I am still having some tenderness in my left breast, I wish it would stop! Sometimes I feel like the underneath is numb, but then I feel like it hurts? So weird. Next Friday I see my ps, so I am hoping I get some idea from him on what is going on! I feel like other people's 5 weeks updates are like I am feeling back to normal, so I am wishing that was mine.

My incisions are still under some tape, so I haven't gotten to see them yet, but they are feeling flat! So I am super happy about that!

I added some photos in some new lace bras that I haven't worn yet, I am sticking to the sports bras for now.

I just want to feel normal again! I am not regretting anything, I know this is a whole process to heal, but I am ready to start really working out again, running would great, but I guess it will have to wait. Guess I am just feeling a little sad today. Hope all is well with all you ladies! Send healing thoughts my way.

Today is four weeks since my surgery. I will post some pics soon. I am feeling good, considering the recent hospitalization with the blood clot. I feel like my breasts have softened up a bit, but I am still having some aching in my left breast only. Is anyone else experiencing this at a month out?

I think the left has dropped more than the right, my nipples seem slightly uneven at this point. I don't have another appointment with my ps till the 31st of the month, so I have two weeks to see if both of these things improve. I hope so, I am starting to worry a bit.

I am still sleeping at a 45 degree angle, trying to scoot onto my right side when I can. My back and shoulder is killing me! But I didn't get to ask at my last appointment when can I lay down flat again? If I lay on my left, then my left boob tightens up a bit. So I guess I am just feeling a little down today.

I have an appointment to see a hematologist for the blood clot on the 31st too. I am still trying to figure out why that happened! Hope all you ladies are doing well. I would love some feedback on how you felt a month out! Thanks!

Sorry for no updates recently, up until dec 24 things were great. Boobs really good, even starting to feel a a little softer, then I coughed - really hacked up a (warning disgusting) phlegm ball of blood! I wasn't too worried thinking maybe it was leftover from surgery, but then my mid back started to hurt. I took a walk with my husband thinking I pulled a muscle from the hacking.

As the evening went on, the pain got worse in my back and I couldn't take deep breathes. Took some pain pills and tried to sleep. Got up Xmas morning intending to skype with family back east and couldn't even sit up on my own I was in so much pain! So I made my husband take me to the hospital.

Arrived and they fast paced me in so I could see someone and sent my husband home because they said it would be hours. Had an X-ray, ct scan and tons of blood drained from me for tests. Found out I had a blood clot in my lung! No one can still give me a definite reason why? Was it the surgery? The ps says no way, I was barely under for an half an hour, birth control pills, maybe- I am over 35, hereditary? How did it start, why did I get it, I still have no answers and I am frustrated.

I spent Xmas at the hospital, we convinced them to send me home Thursday because all they were doing was monitoring me to make sure I didn't get worse, but I was at this point on blood thinners and taking Percocet for pain.

Feeling better every day, still pain in my back, I have breathing exercises to do. I went to my ps this morning on a happy note the breasts are doing great! Got my stitches out, told me to keep massaging and by May they should be perfect! He does want me to make sure I find out why this happened. He was very concerned.

I am off to my primary doc this afternoon for more blood tests and to see if she can help me get to the bottom of this.

My husband has been a real trooper throughout this whole ordeal, I am so happy to have him. He has been giving me blood thinner shots in my belly and making sure I am taking my pills, taking me to appointments! I am a huge pain in the ass these days!!! Hopefully I will be better soon and can start having some fun again, I owe him huge!
I hope all of you are doing well and I will be looking at everyone's recent posts today!
