My Reduction

A recount from the decision to the recovery!

Bad Day!! April 22nd, 2006

I am having a rough day today.  It's Saturday and the wether is not so good either, so that doesn't help.  I am back on pain meds!!,...........  I am in pain today, seems whenever I move it hurts.  I am getting these lightning pains through my right breast as well.  I hate it.

Okay I have been told about post operative depression and figured that it happens right away....................WRONG!!! I am feeling so sad all the time!!, seems that nothing could be wrong and I am bawling my eyes out.  I also have this awful need to have my husband close to me.  If i am sitting watching a movie, I want my husband right there holding me.  I am never like that!!! I know he likes it, but I do hope that my "dependency" goes away soon. 

So anyway yes today is rough, but I will get through.  Really the worse part right now is waiting to have the stitches removed.  I get them out on Tuesday and can't wait.  I hope to put up some new pics in about 2 weeks.  I figure most of the yellow bruising will be gone by then.  So keep checking back, and please feel free to sign my guest book.  I get a lot of visitors to my site, but only a few guest book posts.  I would love to hear your comments.  Sarah

OMG!!! April 21st, 2006

Okay as most of you know, I had an issue with my bank card being duplicated and then used the day I was having my surgery!!.  I went into my bank signed the papers they needed for the Fraud Detection section to take care of it and was told in a few days my account would be back to normal.  Okay for Starters it's not!! and now I am getting calls from some other bank personnel being told I have to clear up my account!! HELLO!!!! anyway they have put so much stress on me that I am swelling like a balloon.  Tip: When you are recovering, don't let yourself get stressed out! it's only makes the pain and swelling ten times worse.

Week 2

Okay I am in Week 2 as we speak, I am off the pain killers!!! woohoo!!! I finally can think.  LOL.  I am noticing that my left boob is feeling a little hard, mind you they are perky!! LOL.  I am sleeping in bed again, I haven't had much trouble sleeping though as I have slept on my sides since the hospital.  I am tired still and still very frustrated about the weight I have put on being at home.  I am still black and blue, but that is getting better too.  I am going to get my husband to take some more photos of me when I hit the 2 week post op mark.  I think I am going to do this until week 6 and see all the progressions of healing.  I have had to buy a few new sports/post surgical bras.  I bought one more post surgical bra as they are covered on my husbands medical plan.  They only allow for 2 a year though.  I am not fitting into a C cup anymore.  I think in the end I am going to be a B cup.  I am more than happy about this though.  I have been talking with my husband, and I am thinking of saving up the money and getting a Tummy Tuck done in a couple of years.  I have lots of weight to loose first, but I really want to do this.  I am so happy with the results of the lipo that I am so motivated to loose the weight now, and if I am still left with the unsightly stomach I am going to go ahead and do it.  After I had the hysterectomy I have never like my stomach, and I might as well do it while I am young.  I will post again tomorrow, as you can see I am feeling much better.  Good night for now.  Sarah.
