Happy 30th Birthday to Me =) - Virginia

Well, I had my 2 week PO visit with my PS nurse yesterday and they removed all my bandages. I now look like something from a Frankenstein movie lol. Everything looks like it's healing great. They gave me some silicone tape to put over my scars and I have a follow up appointment in two weeks to check on the progress. One thing I did notice, and I'm sure if it's always going to be this way, but it seems like my nipples are always hard. Is this the case after an augment?

Well today is two weeks PO and I'm feeling GREAT!! I must admit tho, I was starting to freak out a little about 4-5 days PO wondering what in the world I did to myself. I wasn't able to stand up straight, the drains were totally obnoxious ... It wasn't until about a week PO that I was able to get a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel.

The first week after surgery is pretty much a blur to me. I spent most of it in the recliner, taking my meds and sleeping. I made sure I walked around not to get blood clots in my legs as much as i was able to. I ended up going smaller with the implants than I originally anticipated. At the last minute, I changed my mind. I told my PS that I didn't want anything ridiculous. He told me he would make me look "hot, but not over the top". That is the last thing I remember before waking up to the new girls. Instead of 500cc like I originally was going to get, I ended up with 370cc, which i am happy with because it's more proportionate to my body. The BA did not cause me one bit of pain. I'm not sure if it's because I was more worried about the TT, or if it's just because my body tolerated the BA better. Even with the TT, I wouldn't say that I was in pain, it was more of being uncomfortable than anything.

I had my first follow up appointment 8 days PO and was soooo happy to hear that he would be removing my drains. At that point, my whole attitude changed. Once the drains were out, it made a world of a difference. It was probably just a coincidence, but i was able to stand up straight again shortly after that. I asked the doctor about returning to work (I'm a legal assistant) and he told me that I can go back when I feel like I am able to... he asked me if I was thinking of returning on Friday ( my appointment was on a Tuesday) and I looked at him and told him that I was thinking more like tomorrow. He looked at me like I was crazy lol .... he told me if i felt up to it, that he would give me the go ahead. He gave me a note to only work 6 hours per days, just in case I go there and felt like I couldn't handle it. I went to work for 6 hours on Wednesday and then worked a full day on Thursday and Friday.

I have my 2 week PO check up tomorrow to make sure the fluid isn't building up and to remove my bandages. I'm not as excited about this appointment as I was about the removal of the drains. I'm not sure I want to see what's under those bandages just yet. I will keep ya'll updated.....
