Day 16

Jul 01, 2010

I'm home! I'm finally lying on my couch, watching my tv, in my house! I am so excited! It's nice to be surrounded by the comfort of home and being back where I belong. On the drive home today, I took a vicadine just to reduce the pain. It helped quite a bit. I didn't feel any pain, but I was a bit nauseous. We stopped once for a bit of food, and that really helped.

My appointment at the dr.'s office yesterday was really good. Dr. Lo was really pleased with the way I was healing. We removed some of the glue that was ready to me removed, and I saw the incision line for the first time. I was AMAZED! The line is pencil thin! I thought that the thick blood line was the cut, but it turns out that it was just dried blood and purple marker! :) PURPLE! Hee hee! The scar is going to be nothing!!
 
After removing the glue, I had a little bit of weeping on the incision that needs to be kept clean.  He looked at my breasts and feels that the left breast is really going to drop on its own. We are now taping the breast up (to help gravity do its job). They took a picture, so we can compare it to next time.

The bump on my left hip might need some minor work on it. He said just a little nip and tuck in the office. He said that I have the best shape that he has seen in a long time! :) Infact, two of the office staff came in to look at me... they were impressed. One is getting her surgery done in a few months, and she wanted to see my incision. I go back in three weeks.

I just weighed myself, and honestly, after reading other people's posts, I thought I would be heavier, even though he removed fat  and swelling... but I actually I weigh 5 lbs less! I also tried on some more of my jeans, and they fit! I can't wait to try on more and more of my clothes! I just bought a new dress to wear at a wedding in October, and a blouse! I am taking it easy... still resting... dr''s orders!
