Hi ladies!
I had my BA 8 days ago and I have mostly been feeling fabulous! Haven’t had any pain since about day 3 apart from general aches and soreness, and have been able to move my arms better day by day.
Sleeping is a nightmare because all I want to do is roll onto my side!
Had abit of leaking on my 2nd day post op, had an appointment with the nurse the next day and she took my strapping off early because it was covered in fluid (errrrrrr), but it was just fluid my body hadn’t reabsorbed quick enough and my scars were healing fine. Had the dressing changed and saw my boobs for the first time (which I’m kind of thankful for because I was not looking forward to the 9 day wait I would have had otherwise). They were rock hard and a funny shape, I can only compare it to post baby milk boobs, but they are settling down more everyday. Still quite hard, but not as weird of a shape.
The only thing I’m finding is my emotions are all over the shop. One minute I’m positively beaming, the next I feel like sobbing and I just want a good lie down (on my side!!!!!!!!) and a nice hot shower.
I was meant to be having my bandages off tomorrow, but Mya rang me 3 days ago to tell me the nurse wasn’t going to be in so I have to rebook for Thursday or Friday, meaning potentially I could have to wait until nearly 2 weeks post op for that nice hot shower! This is not helping my mood xD
Anyone else on this roller coaster of emotions?x
