*ok, more carbs...but i dont think all in all it was that bad. I took another day off training because I was at work (last day!!) and could not get my tushie into workout mode. I'm not lazy i swear!! jp.
Tomorrow shall be very refreshing though...which reminds me!!
DAY 5 Post op:
Appearance: Bruises, bruises, bruises...they are most severe right under the breasts, but a nice 70's shag carpet yellow in the cleavage
,- 70's dude ...i feel like an interior design color palet. Still high and tight, but coming along nicely.
Pain factor: The actual pain is almost none. Now it is more the muscles being tight and adjusting to the implant. Some movements (like buttoning skinny jeans) require some help just because of the pec involvement required. I find that if the muscle isn't "digging" the movement that you're doing it just simply goes "aight bro, I'm out...but hell, go for it if ya want".
Driving is a little annoying...especially making turns, I feel like a grandma b/c it takes me so long to get the car around the curve.
So out of 10...3? just because the tight sensation can get annoying. Random stabs or tingles from nerves regenerating too...that's always fun!
ATTENTION!!! "Removing A Catheter" This was by far the worst part of the whole experiance. Either you or your doctor can remove the catheter. Honestly, it is easy but have your doc do it if you are easily wigged out by shows like ER or that stuff in general.
What's a catheter?? In medicine, a catheter is a tube that can be inserted into a body cavity duct or vessel. Catheters thereby allow drainage or injection of fluids or access by surgical instruments. In most uses a catheter is a thin, flexible tube:
a "soft" catheter; in some uses, it is a larger, solid tube: a "hard" catheter. (thanks wikipedia!!!) My catheter was for drainage and administering the pain medicine from the ON-Q pain pump.
How do you remove it?? ** before you start this make sure you washed your hands very very well...no brainer, but just in case.
1. The area where the catheter is inserted into your body is covered in some tape... take tape off (this may hurt...a lot. best bet is to pull edge of tape up and instead of pulling on tape, push your skin down away from the adhesive, little by little).
2. Find where the tube enters your skin and from a level position (you want to pull out along the line of insertion. dont pull up and out, to the side, down, etc..it could hurt ya on the inside). and the tube will start to come out...and it will go and go and go
3. Catheters are not short little tubes they are LOOONG like almost a foot so keep on pulling. DO NOT be alarmed if some sticky cherry red fluid and some blood are on the catheter- it's to be expected.
DO however be alarmed that if when the catheter is out, the hole (which should be about the size of a pin head) is bleeding.
4. Put some bactine or neosporine on the hole and cover it with gauze or a bandaid
