I still have drains, but I think they are coming out on Monday. Thanks goodness, they are getting fluid still but it is gross draining the fluid out. My Dear Hubby is sweet about doing this. I actually have the best support system!
My hubby that has been through my whining, and complaining about the uniboob, stiffness and the tightness and then having to empty the drains. The nurse I work with cleans the incisions and I am telling you this is my guilty little pleasure every day because it feels like a little mini massage/scratch type deal. Plus it makes me feel a little bit better that I have someone checking out what is going on with my incisions. The girls I work with are so encouraging about the changes I will be going through with my body image. I am used to being the “Big Busted Girl,” and having a certain BIG personality that goes along with that. (Jess from Stillwater helped me out with that as well.) And last but not least The staff at Stillwater Plastic Surgery. Jess helped me from the start of the journey, Dr. Capizzi was patient and kind all the way through the surgery and the aftermath of waking up and my post-op appointments, the nurses of been great.
The surgical tape leaves a lot of goo. It’s a bit annoying because you don’t have any feeling to gauge how to get it removed. It’s very hard to explain how it feels, and how it feels not to be able to remove it. I feel embarrassed when I see the little pieces of tape goo.
I can’t wait to see how my new breasts settle in, I will say a new thing I have noticed is that my armpits are full. I had HOLLOW armpits when I went to sleep and now they are filled in and full. Not sure how that happened and when I figure it out I will let you know!
