June 11: I had Breast reduction surgery on the 11th. They said I would have 5-7 days of pain.
June 12: Well its morning now. Still sore,I know...duh. saw the doctor this morning, she is impressed with how I am doing. Not sure when I am, getting discharged. But she said she was able to make me a perfect size B.
June 13: Had it rough tonight.
June 14: Last night went to the emergency room for severe pains...found out I was getting pectoral muscle spasms. Nice. Today I get the drains removed. Hopefully that makes me more comfy.
June 16: Drains are gone (yes!). Stitches are coming out Monday afternoon, not sure if all of them are coming out...but since they itch, any will be good! Still need the pain pills, when I try to ween, I feel lots of pain. But I am down to one pill every five hours.
June 18: Was able do celebrate Father's Day with both Dads. Sore....ended up with a terrible headache, but was worth it! Hoping to get some sleep this morning....and hoping the pain pill kicks in soon. This afternoon at least some of the stitches out.
June 20 (morning): Stitches out. Still have pain, but not nearly as much as before. No more antibiotics! Next visit to the doctor is next thursday. She will be checking my progress. Nurse thinks in 2 weeks I will be out od the blood clot danger, so I will be able to take all my meds again...on which my head will be grateful. I must be doing better because my insomia has come back (is that a yay or boo?). Its been a week and a half...and no visitors. :( Its just been me and my Sims.
Today: Yesterday afternoon (after being in severe pain all afternoon) broke down and called the doctor. As most who know me know that I don't do well with blood...especially my own. The pain was getting really bad, so I checked the bandages. Now Garrick has been the one taking care of them and when he did I would stare at the ceiling. I checked the bandages and there was blood. So I called and she told me it was okay... to put more ice on it because she thought it was the heat (95 F weather) that was effecting it. I started to feel better, but I can't help but remember she said the pain was going to be 5-7 days.. then soreness for 2-3 weeks after. It's been longer than that.. and sometimes the soreness is down right pain. Garrick said to be patient (yeah) and to remember I only had the surgery 1 1/2 weeks ago. I hope I start to feel better.
The whole reason for this is because it can improve almost everything that is wrong with me. I can actually look down and see... my belly :( I can't wait until I can start to do my stretches again (the steps to actually be able to exercise without pain). Anyway I will try and put updates here from now on and not on Facebook.
Any questions, commits or concerns.... leave a feedback here for me and/or start to follow me. Christy
