Just a little update for any of you worrying! I am 3 days post op now, I had my op Friday 13th. First day home was ok, I had pain I was just very very tired but managed to walk up and around the house, my first night wasn’t great I was in pain but my boyfriend has been super he helped me take my meds throughout the night. I did sleep for a good 3 hours thenan other 4 hours so i did sleep.
Yesterday was day 2 and I was in a lot of pain when waking up, my left breast was sooooo sore and my side and back, but I used an ice pack and it helped. I took my meds regularly and I actually went to bingo with my mum for Mother’s Day and it was good! Speed bumps and round abouts hurt though so I’ say slow down when it comes to them! It is good to keep active though or to get some air I even went to tesco just to get out and it made a difference.
I slept much better last night, however I do tend to wake up around 3-4 which I quickly take my paracetamol and codeine and sleep again, I woke up at 9.30 today which is good. Today has been so much better, I keep feeling like gurgles in my boobs and like slight movement which is normal, I do have pain still but I think the whole procedure is partially as bad or good as you make it. I went to my friends all day today and I’m now back I’m bed, she washed my hair for me over the bath which was great as it was so greasy and there’s no way I could do it Ha! I also took she tablets yesterday kind of laxative tablets as I haven’t been to the loo since Thursday! Caused me no problems though.
I generally feel so much better today, yes I still have pain but I have just had an operation! My v pillow has been amazing, I got it from dunelm mill for £15 it’s a massive teddy soft one it is great! My nurse loved it and even said everyone should have one so all post op girls I would say this is a must !
I can now sit up, stand up have a drink without a constant straw by myself! I can even get dressed and managed to shave my legs in a shallow bath last night! It does get better but there will be up and down spells.
I will upload photos soon, i just thought to keep people posted as I used to love reading stories before hand.
Xx
