I have made some progress. I can get in and out of bed by myself, I even managed to roll onto my side for a few minutes but then my breast was aching so had to get back onto my back. I got rid of the v-pillow for a while now. I can reach further and higher. Even the muscle in my back doesn't hurt so much, although I have had some Ibuleve anti-inflammatory cream on it and massaged few evening. It feels that muscle has turned into rock, it's that knoted.
Despite of what I said previously I have started on taking arnica pills. I think it helps with the swelling, but if it's just a coincidence I don't mind. Fed up with the swelling. At least the swelling in the labia has gone.
This week my periods have started, so the op hasn't affected my "timing", like other girls said about theirs. Maybe because they were on the pill before the op.
I get a so-called "morning boob", when every morning they are very sore and stiff. They have dropped a bit I believe.
The left one is softer. Apparently I'm getting more of a cleavage too.
The tummy is definitely less bloated, but still a while to go. There is no new sores, the old ones are scabbed and healing. I keep re-dressing that area, including the belly button with non-adhesive dressing so it doesn't rub on the corset seams. I don't want the scabs to be taken off too soon and scar. I have enough scars.
I am also obsessing with the fact that belly button is not quite centred. And the tummy scar is definitely higher on one side compared to the other side. I'm thinking in 1-2 years time I will tattoo over it. I'm a bit upset if after the swelling is down etc the belly button is still not centerred but it's not significant, just me being OCD.
