Just being nosy, you mentioned you hubby went for 30 day tdy for training. Is he back? Is he supportive of your recover?
Lol no you're fine :) yes he just got back fully Friday. He is supportive. He was having one of his male days lol
Yeah! Glad to hear.
Thanks for posting the pictures. I'd say we are very much at a similar state of healing. My nipples are not so nicely round as yours. Mine have a kind of wonky, asymmetrical look to them. The centre of my nipples really stand upright though, and are very sensitive. Too sensitive actually!! I have taken to wearing nursing shields not because of leakage but just to protect those poor, overly sensitive nipples! Even the slightest brushing of a light fabric against them hurts. When I'm not wearing the elastic tube like tension bandage I was given (no surgical bra was given or recommended), I've taken to wearing a very tight, stretchy zip front bra just to compress the breasts and minimize the brushing of fabric against my nipples. I sure hope this over sensitivity is not permanent!
I have sensitivity on my nipples and the sides of my breast
I went from almost no sensitivity prior to surgery to "Wow, who opened a window". The super sensitivity gradually went away after a few weeks. :)
looking really good
You look like you're healing beautifully! Very happy for you! :)
Not bad at all! I think you are looking good!!
Thank you: )

Lost pictures from last week

Okay so here are some pictures from last week that I couldn't post due to my phone breaking so I used my mom's copy. I can see the difference.

Steri strips came off last night!

Last night was the day for the Steri strips to come off. I have a small hole on my sternum next to my left breast that is healing because I'm giving it air. And my right breast drains only a little bit but you can see the yellow drainage spots under my right breast. Tell me what y'all think.

I had the same surgery date as you, and my healing is at about the same state. I still have a small amount of seepage under my left breast. It is coming from an opening that is slightly longer than yours. I think it will heal fine. I put Polysporin on the area twice daily to prevent infection. I can't say whether it is normal or not as I haven yet seen the PS. My checkup appointment is Friday. That's a little later than it would have otherwise been but I had an existing appointment for a consult on carpal tunnel surgery and we decided to do the breast follow up at the same appointment rather than booking another.
Okay cool. I'm a little worried but not much. I'm about to post pictures from last week so you can compare to the ones I just posted.
