One week after surgery

May 9th, 2013

It’s been a week and I’m still completely amazed at
how great I feel. I have taken my kids to school and am starting to do a
bit more around the house. My husband has been doing most of the tidying up
and washing, which is fantastic! I've started cooking meals though and am well enough
to do light housework, folding laundry etc…
My breasts are still quite tight and I’m feeling no pain, but the tightness has increased, as I’m using my arms
a bit more. It’s hard to describe the feeling, but the easiest comparison is probably the feeling of working out too much where you feel sore, but a good sore. It’s not pain at all and still hasn't been.
My nipples are sensitive and I have lost some of the sensation, which Dr. Rastogi has assured me will
return in no time. I've been taking a few Panadols here and there to relieve some of that tight feeling, but otherwise, that’s it. The worst thing I’m feeling at the moment is constipation.
I haven’t been to the toilet in just over a week now and it’s bothering me. My stomach is quite swollen
too, which Dr. Rastogi said was completely normal. Don’t panic, I tell myself. I’m used to having less of a
tummy, so it’s a big confronting, but I’m confident that it will go down.
Dr. Rastogi said that it takes about 2 weeks for the swelling to disappear, so I’m just relying on the fact
that he is awesome and knows what he’s talking about! Other than the constipation and swelling in my
tummy, I’m great! I have even worked this week, but took it very easy.
I’m a hair and makeup artist, so I had to go really easy doing the model’s hair for a photo shoot.
It was at the beach, fortunately, so that fly-away, beachy hair worked.
No one noticed that I wasn't my normal self.
I still can’t believe I feel this great, one week out of surgery.My husband is loving my new breasts too, by the way. He thought I was lovely before, but am now even better. He can’t stop looking at me and I feel sexier and more beautiful than ever…it’s awesome!
