Day 28 Wednesday: Eek!!

It's official...today is 4 weeks post-op AND the original double mastectomy surgery date (God bless the cancelation, therefore, opening for me, on 12/22)!!

Therefore, spoiling myself was in order with Starbucks this morning, wearing my favorite comfy clothes, catching up on phone calls to Trae, Daddy + Mommy, and setting zero expectations. It worked out beautifully!

The surgical glue is starting to fall off, another great sign! What looks atrocious has been healing quite nicely underneath! (pic below)

Tonight, the kids don't have activities, so we will be sure to get in hands of Uno and other card games.

Feeling:

Today there is more of an uncomfortable feeling on my left side where Happy's drain was located. It reminds me of a bruised feeling. I'll monitor + contact the Dr. if it gets worse.

Current Restrictions in Place:

  • Continue sleeping on my back until 6-weeks post-op (only 2 weeks to go - yay!!!)

  • Continue wearing a compression bra 24/7 until 12-weeks post-op.

Next Appointment:

Monday, 1/24: Reconstructive/Plastics Surgeon 1 month follow-up.
