Only slept 3 hours last night, my chest was hurting too much on each side to get comfy. So I stumbled out of bed around 7am and was awake for Katherine arriving.
Also had my second Post-Op yesterday, didn't have an appointment set because they'd just told me to come for after 2pm. Got in and out in under an hour which was surprising. Only had to pay $4 for the parking when its usually double that because we get stuck in the waiting room for ages.
I told her about switching bra's and she said okay good, didn't give me shit about changing it, or that it wasn't a front closure so yay. Confirmed she took out exactly 452 grams from each side, then she took the rest of the gauze off....that was pretty gross...lotsa dried blood and pus. They look good, healing well with no holes or infection. She said I have the okay to shower now. I can get them wet but I can't face the shower, that would be too much water pressure.
She added some paper tape to the scars and told me to leave it on for 3 days, then I can add more (the surgery may have been covered but all the little things I keep needing to buy plus gas/parking is adding up) and keep using it for 3 weeks. I still need to take it easy, its very easy to do damage and holes are a bitch to heal. I asked about going back to the gym and dancing, she said to give it a few weeks and I can swim as soon as the incisions heal over. I don't need to see her again until end of November unless I have any complications.
James and I stopped at Metrotown briefly and then I came home and crashed for a few hours. Went for a short walk to the store and back, I was pretty woozy as we were paying. He offered to princess carry me home but I was too worried about bumping my chest. I'd be asleep now but my knees are acting up and the pain is making me want to puke, blah.
