Post-op day 6

So I had originally had my dr. appt on Friday but I called yesterday morning in hopes they would see me sooner because I still had the padding on and I had heard that after a few days I would be allowed to shower. To my unpleasant surprise he told me because of the areola reduction and the amount of stitches I would have to wait another WEEK!! Yes I can take baths but its still a chore to take a bath and then to wash my hair separate. NOT FUN! As for the rest of the appointment, it went well. Dr. Pousti said I was healing well and showed me the exercises to help the implants drop.

As far as how I have been feeling over the past two days...pretty well. Yesterday was the first day that I didn't need a nap. I definitely felt it last night though and zonked out pretty quick. Today my mother-in-law and I had to go to the grocery store to stock up on the "uh ohs." Today was the first time I drove (Dr. gave the ok), that was an interesting experience. Parking and getting out the drive way were where it kind of hurt. But I am just thankful that I have an outlet now. Going to the grocery store was suppose to be just the essentials but going there hungry wasn't the best idea. :) Thankfully my mom-in-law helped with my 2-yr-old daughter and some of the heavy stuff, loading and unloading. I am very happy with my progress and it's only been less than a week later, granted some things hurt still but I am up and going. YIPPEE!
