Day 3
Well day 3 and so far the pain hasn't been too bad at all. I'm taking 1 x antibiotic and 1 x tramadol in the morning and night time which manages any discomfort well. The worse time is getting out of bed in the morning, I'm sleeping propped up on many pillows at about a 130 degree angle. I couldn't imagine lying flat at the moment as I don't think I would ever get up again!
I'm trying not too put any pressure on my boobs, I even flush the toilet using my foot lol. When there is pain it comes from under the boobs near the incisions, I've got internal stitches and glue on the outside with no dressing or strips. I bathed yesterday and dried the incisions gently with a hairdryer on the cool setting. I changed bra on day 1 from an eyelet elasticated bra to a seamless zip up bra and it is far more comfortable. My mum has been brilliant, its really helped that I haven't had to do anything and the kids are away so I'm just sitting back enjoying the olympics!
I've attached a couple of photos and so far I'm really pleased, they're a million times better!

I've done it!
It's done! Today is Day 1and I'm still in hospital, staff have been great looking after me. I'm on antibiotics to prevent infection and just paracetamol today. When I came round yesterday it was very painful so they gave me tramadol and the pain went straightaway. I didn't have the op til 3pm so had hours of waiting but didn't mind with the tv and a book, it was quite relaxing really! I couldn't eat or drink though. I was sick last night after eating too many grapes but this morning I feel much better and have eaten prunes (desperate not to get constipated) toast and porridge. Moving around to go the loo is a bit uncomfortable, I'm a bit scared of it hurting so really taking my time. Had a peak at new boobies under the gown and they look big on the side so hoping that's swelling which will go down. They look full so I've tried the shirt on I arrived in and it fits so I'm happy so far but I've got weeks of recovery to go yet....
