5 weeks post op appointment

So last I wrote I had a "breast infection". What actually happened was where the W of the Wise Mastopexy happen they sew it back together along the bra line and it sort of looks like a letter T. Well At the intersection of the T where all three points combine just basically split apart. The Doctor said that the tear is really clean and that it will all heal back the way it is supposed to with time and a few weeks. (Which sorta sucks cause I really think I would have been ok to get in the lake water this weekend for my anniversary lake party, but now I can't.)

He said that my tummy tuck is looking great and I'm not really swelling or holding fluid (which is great considering I'm on my period on top of it all) and so I GOT RID OF THE WRAP!! Hooray! But I'll be a little honest that it was a little harder to stand up straight yesterday without some effort. My backs even been a little sore today, but it will build up.

So tummy, check. Get this breast thing healed up and I'm ready to go. I have been looking all over Pinterest for some new outfit ideas. Which I am excited about. I'm a little bit tentative to go shopping because I feel like I'm still losing weight. Ya know? But I start back to work July 2nd, so I may have to make some changes, but I may be able to get along with some of the stuff I'm now fitting back into for a month or so.

Breast infection

At my last appointment with Dr. Telepun there was a stitch in my right breast that had developed a little irritation so we decided to remove it. I left for the beach the next morning not thinking much about it. It has steadily gotten worse and is now sort of a gross hole. I called today o see if I could get my appointment moved up from thursday to Monday sp he could look at it and after talking to the nurse they decided to CALL IN an antibiotic for me IN DESTIN!! My verdict? Don't hire any doctor who wouldn't call you in medicine while you're on vacation.

Bikini time @ 4 weeks post op

Today I wore my bikini outside in public for the first time!!! So exciting. I was a little nervous but hubby said over and over he couldn't believe how great I look. In at the beach for the week and although dr. Telepun has said its ok for me to get in the water as long as I don't just stay wet for long periods of time I'm still a little nervous about it. Hubby asked if I felt any different and I told him its hard to say because I'm in this Wrap thing all the time so I don't see the difference as much as I do with the breast. Make sense? I did feel like I looked ok today and I look forward to being able to work out some because my butt is getting very flat lol. All in all I'm feeling pretty good. Still some severe nipple sensitivity but my stomach rarely hurts at all and most of the scabs have fallen off from the scar at this pointe

Second thoughts set in

So I've hit the place where you start to do the little depression thing. Everybody i said it ovewould come and I was like "ohhhh bs"! But umm I'm there. I've been super tired the past three days, I tries on some clothes today and realized I still am somewhere between a Xl and L. Which is weird because I look at my body and I think "that's what a medium should look like" and alas it's not the case. My boobs still hurt but I haven't had a pain pill in over 24 hours which is good. I even had it flash across my head tonight that maybe I should have spent 8,000 another way. Ugh I know it's like that and just my brain messing with me but I hope I pull out of the slump soon. Just being honest and sharing the truth so if you get there emotionally you'll know it happened to me too!
