Visitors' Stories -- Jo's Story (last page)I woke up nauseous and she brought me some crackers. I took a pain pill and my Arnica, my first pain pill my 100th Arnica ! I fell back asleep and then awoke an hour later. The pain pill had worn off, however, I was beginning to regain my mental strength in order to combat the pain. This is the point I remember that - hey! I have breasts! I looked down at my chest. I was ace bandaged up...sort of like a mummy, but hey, they looked good anyway!! My friend was upstairs in the kitchen. I could hear her on the phone, making fun of my behavior while I was drugged prior to surgery. I think I made some sort of pass at someone on my way to the surgery room....Unable to resist, I forced myself to lift out of the chair and I went upstairs....she about fainted! I continued from that point on, to make myself take care of myself! I got my own drinks, food, crackers,,,,answered phone, etc. I quickly began to feel better. My boyfriend came over after work and took over so my friend could go home. He was amazed at how well I was doing. So was my friend! So was I! That night, Dave slept on the couch and I slept in the recliner, however, I didn't have to take any more pain pills at all. The pain at this point was very minimal and I was able to do everything for myself which didn't require me to use my pectoral muscles...i.e., no vacuuming or calisthenics. The next morning after the surgery, I woke up and got dressed for my follow up appt. with Dr. White. First, we went out to breakfast. Then we went to the Price Club...then to Victoria's Secret...just for fun! Then off to Dr. White's. I found out I had 465 cc's , placed submuscular, round , smooth , mentors. She removed the bandage....!!!!! PERFECT!! They were absolutely *******gorgeous****** I thought Dave's eyes were going to fall out of his face! You could hardly see the incision (aerola) and there was no swelling and only one small yellow bruise. They were perfect! I cried! The rest of my recovery continued the same - quite expeditiously! I washed my own hair within 24 hours...etc, etc. With four children at home ages 2, 7, 10 & 12, I didn't have time for a break so it was business as usual! I am three months post-op now. You cannot see the aerola scars at all. Even when I try to see them, I can't. I did not lose any sensitivity. They never looked like snoopy breasts. This was truly the best thing I could have done for my self-esteem! I am so, so pleased with the results....34D! Best wishes to those planning a BA!
