Thanks for the suggestions, love! Right before we left for the hospital yesterday I had hubby take a couple of pictures without a top on to remind me why I had this done just in case I'm not as pleased as I hope to be. But so far, I think I'm happy!
Yes, I went under the muscle, mainly so future mamograms will not be a problem. I got round, smooth, high profile implants (they're less wide than regular ones of the same size and will sit higher under the muscle), but I'm not sure what size the doc went with. He ordered two pairs and one was a 400cc, not sure what the other was, and right before surgery yesterday he asked me that if he's got a choice, should he go larger or smaller...I opted for larger. LOL Since I had a lift done as well, I won't be able to take off the bandages to see what my boobs actually look like. Tomorrow I go to the doc and he'll change the dressing so I'll get a better idea then. The pain is tollerable as long as the pain meds are working, but when it started to wear off last night I could feel the stitches hurting so I'm doing my best not to let that happen again. LOL
The surgery took longer than expected...it went over the 4 hrs. I'll find out what went on tomorrow, but the nurse said he had to go back to make some adjustments...not sure what that means, but I'm thinking he had to do something to my right breast because that one is hurting considerably more than the left and there seems to be more swelling on that side. I'm hurting more today than I was yesterday...I figure that's because the anestesia is out of my system.
I've been up and walking around a lot but not lifting anything. I can't stand being confined to bed and sitting up at the computer is more comfortable...when I get tired, I head back to bed. Hubby's home with me for the most part, and he's been an angel doing all the little things I can't do for myself. Even opening the top to a water bottle is tough. I feel like such a baby! Hun, can you scratch my back, can you brush my hair, etc. LOL Right now he's out taking my daughter to school and buying some vitamin E for me. Then when he gets home he's gonna confiscate the computer and get some work done, I hope to sleep!
