Thanks for checking up on me.


I am drugged up most of the time, Percocet every 4 hrs and Motrin every 8 hrs. My pain is a little better but still a good amount of it. I have to do chest stretching exercises every day by lifting my arms above my head. I looked at my incisions today which I now wish I hadnt'. They are UGLY! I don't know what I expected, I'd seen what it would look like before in pictures but I guess it's just different when it's on you, ya know.


Overall I'm doing fine. I feel helpless though. There is so much I can't do because I'm not supposed to and because I simply can't. I can't dry my own body, it's too hard, nothing like having dh have to dry my body, lol. I felt so helpless when he dried my backside today {blushing}


Well I'm going to do my last set of exercises and then head to the couch for a while again. Just wanted to check in with you all. I'm glad somebody cares about how I am doing.


Hugs & Prayers,



Danielle

Danielle, I'm glad you're doing well. I can't even picture my dh wiping my behind, lol! I don't know who would be more embarassed, him or me! I'm sure the incision lines will look so much better by your 6 week check up. They will fade some over time, too. Won't they mostly be hidden in normal body folds? Don't even think that nobody cares - you know we love ya!!

Thanks Sheri Ann.


Most of the scar will be hidden, I have one circling my areola which will fade right into it so no biggie and the one on the bottom of the breast will be hidden underneath. The only visible one will be the verticle one that runs from my areola to the one at the bottom but it's a small price to pay for the results I will have. I'm already seeing improvement. I looked again when I showered today and the bruising, while still horrible, is getting better in some area's. I know that things will get better and pretty quickly.


I'm really tired & moody today. My friends, my online friends of 5 yrs have not asked me once since I've been home how I am doing so I am ver mad

Hey Heather,


I know my friends don't know the extent of my anxiety over this surgery. I went through the "they don't want to hear it" thing before so I never mentioned it to them. Only one of them who also suffers anxiety/depression knew what I was going through and that was *like 2 days before the surgery. I think a large part of the problem is that a lot of us, myself included, don't realize how major plastic surgery can be. This has been a hard recovery for me physically & emotionally. Between my friends and my own emotional state I feel like I'm hit twice as hard.


I'm tired, need to go to bed and get some sleep. I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day for me. Thanks for checking up on me Heather. I'll check back in over the weekend : )


Hugs & Prayers,



Danielle
