I am starting to feel a little better. Still extremely sore and very swollen. They look sooo ugly. I know it takes awhile for them to adjust. I just have a hard time imagining what they are going to end up look like.
I went in on Friday January 2nd for the surgery. My surgery was scheduled for 0830 but I didn't end up getting into surgery until 0930. I was very scared. This is the first surgery I have ever had. I don't even remember being put out. I remember waking up to my s-i-l Lindsay and her mother showing me the buckets of boobs. They ended up taking out the easiest 6 1/2 pounds of weight I will ever loose.
I instantly felt the relief. My back and neck haven't bothered me like they did. I just hope that it is preminant.
The hygenie part of this is gross. I really couldn't bathe for 6 days. Those soapy water and wash cloth baths just don't cut it. It felt really good to finally shower.
I am getting pretty bored from hanging out at home. I have a hard time sleeping at night, kinda hard to get comfortable. I can lay in one position...my back. That just doesn't really work for me.
Hopefully I can head back to work on the 19th. It has been nice just relaxing. Watching lots of reruns. Nothing good on tv these days. I do know there is no way I could stay at home all day everyday. Way too boring for me.

Hope everyone had a good Holiday Season.
