Still numb and so so so sore

Well this is day 3 of post op of ba and I am still very sore, tight, hard, and high. I have an ice pack off/on to try and release that swelling that i am feeling. I slept all night last night in the recliner and took a pain killer at 8:30pm last night and this morning woke up to take two Tylenol 500mg each. Im hoping that Tylenol will help take that pain away just enough for me to get up and do things. Those other meds make me sleepy and out of it.

Chris is taking the boy's to school, then his car to the shop to get the window's fixed on the tint. Then he is going to come home and get me and take me to Costco to get some sheets for our bed. We are getting a new king bed and we can't wait, the space is needed especially since i got the ba surgery. It's a Temperpetic Cloud so so nice. I hope we can sleep on it ok and it doesn't kill our backs.....it seems nice in the store so we will see.

So I go back to the doctor on Monday for my 2nd post op appt. I believe the stitches will come out and he will check to make sure they are softening up and settling into place. Then it's 2weeks after he will see me. He had to do alot of reconstruction with my tuberous issue i had so he wants to make sure I am healing correctly.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

24hrs since surgery.....

My breasts feel so full and hard right now. They itch too. It's kinda weird. I do have more bruising today underneath the breasts. The stretches I have to do kill me but I do feel better every time I do them. If I can do those throughout the day everyday i will be back to normal in no time. I am tired and hope to get some sleep tonight. It is my last night on the couch in the recliner, tomorrow we get our cloud temperpedic king size bed. I am sooooooo ready! I forgot to mention everytime I move my arms to do the excercises i hear crackling like air is in the pocket where the implant is. It's the strangest thing.

I have to say thank you to my awesome husband. He has been nothing but good to me and taking care of me, the house, the boys and the dog. Some husbands could care less about things and let them go but not Chris. I love him so much!

Off i go to try and read some more on ba recovery before I hit the sack and fall asleep.

post op appt. #1

Well, I went for my post op and they took the ACE bandages off and my breasts were completley numb. I couldn't feel anything but the pain pump wires. I thought the wires to the pain pump were only a few inches into the chest wall muscle well they were more like 8inches into the chest muscle. Dr. Aycock clipped the tube and then pulled the rest of the 8inches out of my chest wall muscle, I almost fainted, started getting white as a ghost and had to lay down. Leave it up to me of course to do this. So I will take pictures later tonight of me in my bra im just to tired right now. It took so much out of me to even go to the doctor let alone target to get a few things we needed. I am supposed to be doing these stretches on each side OMG, it hurts like hell. I hear this crackling sound on the right side pocket it's supposed to be normal and go away with time. He told me that because of my tuberous condition that he had to do alot of work on reconstruction of my breasts. So it will take a little while longer for me to see the results...2months or more due to all the fixing he had to do. They look amazing now but still not where they will be in a few months so if he is telling me that now and i like them now I can't wait to see the end product.

I am going to be taking a nap now so i better go only have a few hours before the boys get home from school....will update again soon....

Day 3 post op

Well last night was not a good night at all, I was up at all hours of the night. I just couldn't sleep. I would wake every hour, then it was every 15mins. WTH? Not sure what that was about. I haven't had any pain meds by mouth since 4:45am it is now 6:45am. I am trying to back off of round the clock oral meds meaning every 4hrs. I am also on the pain pump around my neck. I go to the Dr. today at 11am to get the bandages removed and he will look to make sure all is healing and ok. The pain pump will go away too! yay! I am going to try and sleep in bed tonight because this recliner in the couch bit is for the birds and my poor husband isn't sleeping much at all either down in the living room with me.

I have been having these little twitches that sting every now and again on each side of my breasts. Weird, but I read somewhere it might just be nerves healing. Also i am itching and want to take this ACE bandage off so i can itch all over. They say that is a sign of healing too. I have to say as for the pain, it has gone away except for my incisions and a little bit in my chest wall.

I will update after my post op appointment and fill ya in on what the doctor says.

so so so sore....

I'm in pain, but not a lot. It hurts a bit to breathe mainly because it moves my chest muscles. My arms are falling asleep every now and again along with my fingers is that ok? Its hard to grab things that are 6 inches in front of me and i can barely get out of my chair. I know things will only get better and that's what is keeping me going. I'm so glad i went through with it and I can't wait until they heal and I can put on a sexy bathing suit this summer!

Day 2 breast augmentation

So I had breast augmentation yesterday 3/1/2010. I am very sore and my chest wall hurts so bad. I am very happy i did this and was very nervous till I got there and they got the IV in. Then i was excited and so ready to go but had to wait another 2hrs. It was unbelievable. The last thing I remember was them telling me to breath in the mask and that my arm where the IV was would be stinging they were putting in some meds for nausea then i was in lala land. I woke up and was in recovery and heard my husbands voice say hi. The nurse told me i was all done and i did beautifully. No issues with my heart and no issues with the breast part of the procedure. This was such awesome news. I have to admit I am in alot of pain and my chest wall really does hurt but other than that I am ok. Im not sick to my stomach or anything else.

I will take some pictures and post them here so everyone can see later after i get my ACE bandage off and such. I am so lucky to have such an awesome husband who will support me in my wants and needs in life. He has gone beyond the call of a husband's duty. He is on vacation for two weeks and is taking care of me, the house, the dog and the boys!!! Lots of work.

I will go for now it's lunch time, chiken noodle soup! yum!

Trying to loose 10lbs in 10 days

Think it's possible? I do. I have lowered my calorie intake to 1000 a day, healthy no but I need to do this. I am back to the gym tomorrow and will push and push my cardio for an hour straight. Things here have been insane, Mason got really really sick, liam had his MRI at LPCH and had to be put to sleep. Chris left town for 6 days and my mom was here for a few days. I love her to death and missed her so much but she fought with my dad almost the entire time she was here. It's draining.

"don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults, unless of course you want the same treatment"

This phrase is so true, if you continue to see the negative in people then you will fail at everything you want to do in life. So this Sunday I am standing up and will no longer criticize and be positive about things. I am clearing the air of all negative things and moving forward with positive things such as I will loose this weight, I will be healthy, I will be a great mom and wife, I will have a great marriage, I will fill my heart with tons of love and happiness! =)
