    I only had a shower once I’d taken the steristrips off. Made me iffy taking them off – I had to lie down!!! lol

    Mine had healed loads already, and day 14 the scabs are coming off naturally :D

    Oooh, theyre off! Left scar is amazing, right looks very bumpy and even! Relieved to have had a fully body wash – now forgets rash and bruising to go down.

    I had 410 unders Nikki – they don’t seem that big! Got a 34DD sports bra on whilst Macom dries and it fits! Hells teeth! I’m not giving them much attention really, just want the swelling to go and for them to totally drop. How are yours doing? Are u just a couple of days ahead of me?

    Tweetie, I was sick at Mya when she took my bandages off! Might have been the wine from the previous night though!!

    hi kirst, feeling alot better now, i wasnt expecting the up and down emotions ive been having, thought having a ba was as black and white as, booking the opp, having the opp and perfect boobies, but its so not is it. i def dont wish id gone bigger, would rather be a little smaller if anything but ill get used to them, i tried a top on from topshop yesterday which looked fab which made me feel good lol.

    glad to hear your feeling alot better :), two more weeks and you’ll be out of your super sexy sports bra yay, four weeks to go for me :( xx
