Apparently I bled a lot more than “normal.” Instead of being sent home in a surgical bra, they sent me home with this bandage strapped to my chest.
They also put in smaller implants than originally planned. I’m not sure the reason on that since I was still high as a kite on anesthesia, but I go back Monday and can get all the info!
I’m super uncomfortable, but making progress. I’m not taking any narcotics - just ibuprofen, Tylenol and Arnica tablets every 6 hours.
I feel swollen up to my neck and I have little feeling in my armpits. I’ve been doing arm exercises and I can tell they’re helping.
Overall, I’m doing great. But I would love to just take a normal shower.
