Loving my new "goods"

Hi again,
You know I really must say I am quite amazed at how good my surgeon did. (Everyone else agrees too!) I am more than satisfied with the results-and it's only been ten days. I am feeling little pain (on a scale of 1-10 my pain is a 2). In fact they seem to hurt only when I bend over or right when I wake up in the morning. I have switched my pain pills to ibuprofen, can continue doing minor things around the house, like cleaning, laundry, etc. I can even comfortably throw the ball for my dog. I would say the worst part about recovery is the surgical bra. And every woman who has had this done knows exactly what I am talking about. It seems like it wouldn't be that bad, just like a sports bra, right? Not exactly. That thing flat out sucks. It's uncomfortable, itchy, and tends to get hot in temperature. Its a huge relief to take it off for a little while and massage "the goods." Its recommended to wear the darn thing for 4 weeks. Sigh.

I just went to my surgeon for a check up the other day and supposedly I was wearing it wrong. The velcro strap is supposed to go above the nipples-I didn't know, the nurse forgot to tell me. But, no big deal.

Yesterday I went to Victoria's Secret and it was the best shopping experience of my life. I got fitted — I am now a 36C. Huge difference coming from a 34A! Bra shopping was awesome because I actually filled them out for the first time in my life. So, yes, I spent way too much money, but I couldn't help myself. It was just too much fun and too hard to decide so I got everything I wanted. (Hey after being in the surgical bra I felt I deserved it.)

Anyway, I still have some swelling, Dr. Pousti says they will fall a little bit (with gravity, aging, etc) as they set high right now. Either way I know I made a great choice and am so pleased with my new goods!
