A week ago today, I was in the operating room. It seems like just yesterday my breast surgeon was telling me that I would need a double mastectomy and now it's a week after having it done. Last week was such a blur (as you can see below). Soooo many people emailed and texted me and it's all so hazy. I hope I didn't say anything offensive to anyone. I feel like I was drunk for 5 days straight. They kept pumping me with pain meds and anti anxiety meds and at the time I felt like I was fully aware of everything but after talking to John last night, I realize there's a lot I don't recall haha. Oh well, I guess that's expected.
So it's been a week and I am still pretty sore. I am up and moving around, but very slowly. I still have drains. I will get one out tomorrow and probably the second one out a few days later. I have a sports bra on that I can't take off. I think once that comes off, I'll feel a bit of relief. It's most uncomfortable when I am sleeping because it hurts to be reclined.
I can't really fully see my boobs, but the right one looks pretty awesome from what I can see. I'll have to be patient with the poor left one. I look forward to the day when I can wear a swimsuit again or a low cut shirt.
