Visitors' Stories -- France's Story (page 2):November 24, 1998 - Well, got up very early to go to my doctor for my first post-op visit. I felt terrible and in much greater pain than yesterday. I also got my scratchy throat back and it seemed worse. To make things even more fun, I got a painful genital outbreak that started today despite being on suppressive medication. Not fun. I managed to get to my surgeon's office with the help of a friend and couldn't wait to go home again. I get cranky when I'm in pain. The doctor noticed that one side was slightly larger and higher than the other. Before the operation, I already knew that my right side was slightly bigger than my left. It just seemed emphasized now. He told me not to panic because sometimes, one side heals slower than the other. So, I'll have to wait and see how it all heals up. I then asked him a few questions like: When can I start taking Vitamin E again? He said two weeks. When can I start showering? He said today or tomorrow is fine, it's actually good for the stitches. What about sex? He fumbled a bit over that one but managed to say that I should wait a bit and not let anyone manipulate my breasts until they were healed. Today was the first time I looked at myself. I thought "it's not that big, which is good, but it's so hard and so high!" The right side seemed so much bigger than the left. He said to rest, keep taking pain medicine if I needed it and come back in a week. I went back home, lay down on my couch and slept...boy, did I sleep! Almost all day. I woke up a couple times to eat and that was it. I had bought this box of 'meal replacements' called Met R/X...it is full of vitamins, minerals and is very high in proteins. I drank one today and I also took 4,000 mg of vitamin C and three Tylenol 3s for pain, which by the way, didn't take all my pain away. I chose to not drug myself silly because if there is something really wrong going on in there, I'll be able to feel it. (continued - click forward arrow to continue).
