OK. My final boob update.
I went back to work today. For those of you who don't know what I do - a picture:
That big yeller one is my ride.
It's a paddle scraper, and it picks up lots of dirt or rocks or whatever. It bounces the holy hell out of you, too. lolol. I wore 2 bras today - my new VS and a sports bra over it to protect from serious bouncing.
I am pleased to report that my boobs made it through work without any problems. My scars itch (took the tape off on Saturday) and my boobs are still a little tender, but otherwise Okey Dokey. QT will be happy to know that my nipples are still sensitive (didn't loose it, thank goodness).
Oh! I worked out on Sunday. Lower body, only...and did 45 minutes on the treadmill (walking at 4.5 mph) with a gradual incline/decline to 7 and back. (DANM, my quads are sore. lololol) I strapped my boobs up in a sports bra and a tight, spandex tank. No problems. This coming weekend, I'm going to start working out again. (YAY!)
So, 12 days after surgery and I'm roaring to go. No complications, no unbearable pain, no bruising, and very little swelling. I have more than 1/2 my pain killers and muscle relaxers left over for an emergency. The boobs have relaxed a bit now so they don't look like missiles or hubcaps.
They do tend to produce more sweat now than the rest of my body...haven't figured that one out yet.
