Yesterday was a big day for me... got my drainage tubes out! It was pretty fast, and a bit freaky, but not awful. My back pain is/was way worse. In fact, if I didn't have the back pain, the pain is practically nonexistent. For the first time in many years, I can look down and not see boob! I am loving it. Playing around on my tablet is much more relaxing now. I put on a tank top last night, and it actually covers my stomach, instead of barely covering my boobs.
I'm not fond of my body, but I am sucking up some of my biggest insecurities in sharing some of these. In one of the Before pics, you cas see the rashy, broke out area I had under one boob (I had that under both, though). I also have my hands showing in both pics (before and after) for scale of size purposes. The other After pic is a close up of where a drain came out. I'm still fuzzy on painkillers, so I'm sorry if I'm leaving readers confused! Feel free to leave a comment asking anything, and I will answer as best as I can.
I had a breast reduction in April of 2014. This whole blog is about my personal recovery and my feelings about it, as it was happening. I feel the need to point out that I had an unusually large reduction done (17 pounds of breast tissue removed, and I'm still a D-cup) and I was very overweight at the time of the surgery, so I had an unusually rough recovery. MOST people would have a much easier/faster recovery time.
