I live!
So, I had my breast reduction surgery a few days ago. Things are definitively smaller, though I'll have to wait until the swelling goes down to get a fully accurate picture.
I'm only feeling a little pain and discomfort right now, but I'm definitely not up to 100%. It feels like I spent more time sleeping the past three days than anything else. Well, that and throwing up, at least the first day. I don't know what kind of anesthesia they gave me, but my body did not like it. So, for the first day, I was in pain, throwing up, and hopped up on Viocdin. It was just like what having my period used to be like! Except I was was far more nauseous, and for all that having people carve up your chest hurts, my menstrual cramps were way worse. It's so good to have these standards. Actually, my mom was worried that I would have a terrible pain because she recently had a cyst removed from her chest and she was going on and on about how much it hurt. This all made me a little worried until she said that she had to take two Vicodin to deal with the pain. At that point I had to explain to her that I used to have to take three Vicodin just to manage my cramps. Sometimes I believe that I even took four. Because I hate my liver. So, I'm not afraid of a little two-Vicodin pain.
But, anyway, I'm very excited to see what the final result will be once the swelling goes down and everything has shifted into place.
