Visitors' Stories -- Liili's Story (last page)Friday 9:02 1 week post-op The healing process is coming along now in great strides. I still wake up very stiff in the morning and I am convinced that has something to do with only being able to sleep on my back. That is very frustrating for me since I usually sleep on my side. The past few days I have felt pretty much the same, not quite back to myself yet. My breasts are still very hard and my muscles still ache a lot when I move certain ways. I was able to wash my hair in the sink on Wednesday and that really made me feel much better. Not being able to take a show has been one of the hardest things for me. I have taken many birdbaths and that has helped as well. Today after my afternoon appointment I get to take a shower and I told my husband I might be up there all night. I feel this has slowed me down mentally because of feeling so grimy. Once I shower I know I will be much closer to be back to normal! I can't wait. Today's appointment will also allow me to see them for the first time. I am excited to see how they look. I have been feeling a tad depressed since the surgery because I have not been able to see what has been causing me pain and discomfort. So I really feel today will be a huge turning point for me. Hope I am right. Write more soon. Friday 6:30 PM Well my appointment was short and sweet. After I arrived at the clinic I was escorted back into a room where a nurse removed my bandages and stitches. I was expecting this to be painful but it was not. Then she let me look at them in the full-length mirror. Well….. they looked good. I had some mild bruises and a bit of swelling. They are sure perky! Then they took another picture of me for the progression photos. Next I made an appointment for two weeks out and my family and I left. Friday 1:00 Two weeks post-op I have not written much as there really has not been very many changes. I am not in any pain anymore. Just a bit of aching here and there. Sleeping is getting much easier as I have been slowly trying to lie on my side. They are already softening up a bunch since the surgery. All the swelling appears to be gone, leaving only one small remaining bruise left from the injections. Next Friday I go in again and hopefully will get the go ahead to wear my own bra and to be able to sleep without the surgical bra. I am truly looking forward to that! I can't wait to shop! My husband even wants to go. (If you knew him you would be impressed, I assure you!) He told me the other day how much better my body looks with my new breast. That makes it all worth it for me. I have been motivated to get into shape and look forward to being able to work out next week. I new this would get my bottom in gear, and it surely has. I have been dieting since Tuesday in my gallant effort to get the great body I have always dreamed of. In the past I was skinny and even in fairly good shape but it always frustrated me to have a flat chest, therefore not able to reach my goal body. Now nothing is holding me back and I am excited to do it! That was worth the money itself! Well I will write more if I can think of anything worthwhile to add!
