4 days post op
So I have been sleeping in our glider and this morning I woke up to get in the bed, it was 6:30 and I knew if I were to fall asleep I would wake up within an hour so I decided to lay on my side...well kinda, turned toward my side. Ohsugahoneyicedtea! When I tried to get up it felt like my boob had fallen between my armpit and was falling back into place. Nice and painful, won't be doing that any time soon. I have been taking sponge-like baths lately and my husband suggested this morning while everyone was still asleep(mind you I had my mother-in-law and father-in-law in town this weekend)to take a bath. I jumped on it as soon as he suggested it. Granted I just got my bottom half in the tub, I took off my bra so that my husband could wash my back. The bra has been itching me like crazy, especially on my back. Who knew that taking a simple bath would help so much. It was awesome. Next stop taking a shower..lol
As for me still feeling tired, it hasn't really calmed down. Trying to just do simple stuff like give the kids cereal and getting their clothes layed out for the day, poops me out. I feel like I need to be doing SOMETHING though. It's hard for me to just sit my ass on the couch or bed and be waited on. My husband has been awesome, poor guy I know it is starting to get to himand he still has roughly 4 more days left. My mother-in-law has been helping out a lot too but with her its just hard for me to ask her to do the things I normally would do. I have been getting better at it though and trying to feel less guilty every day for asking. It would be so much more nice if my mother were here, I would be able to tell her what to do and not feel one ounce of remorse. Ah the bond between mother and daughter. haha

Thanks! When are you going to put up your pics???? I can't wait to see your results! I feel like we are cyberbuddies of sorts esp. both being military wives. it is nice to have someone to empathize with. So, I have been wondering the same thing about sleeping on my side. I have tried it a few times, but I get scared about messing them up so I go back to being semi-reclined. I see Dr. Pousti on Fri. as well. I am starting to see that they are dropping and softening up little by little. When I went they told me I could wear a soft camisole underneath my bra to help with the itchiness. Other than that I have no other tips, except that each day gets better and better. I was out for lunch and shopping all day today (still taking 1 percoset every 4 to help me feel more normal and not achy.)
