AWESOME story. I loved reading it. I got up late today so I was reading it while sipping my morning coffee. I am so happy that you finally got your BA! I can't wait to see what you look like. Congrats girl!

![]() | 3 & 4 Days PO - Update Thanks, VictoriaC! Good idea for an update! Saturday, Jun. 20, 3 Days PO: I slept on and off all day that day. And it was appropriate, too. It was raining all day! I only took 3 Percocets over the entire day, which is what made me so sleepy. But I think my body needed it. I slept so little during the first couple of days PO, that the need for sleep caught up to me. We have to remember that the time we sleep is the time during which our bodies heal best. The sports bra can get annoying at times. Twice today I snuck and unhooked it (front hooks, which makes it so easy!) and laid around like that for about 5 minutes. I had to. It feels so restrictive! But I'm sure that I'm lucky I don't have the strap! Since day 2 PO, I've been having this burning pain in my right boob. In the same spot, too. It comes on and off. It's not constant (thank GOD!). And it's worse in the mornings and at night than it is during the day. Remember the movie "Cat's Eye" with Drew Barrymore? Remember when that little monster that was like 1 inch tall walked on Drew's chest and squeezed her nose shut as she slept? Well it feels like one of those little men is inside of my boob, only he's sticking me with a hot poker. It can last for anywhere between 1 and 8 seconds, and sometimes it hurts so much that I just freeze. I stop moving my whole body and wait for it to pass. I talked to some girls on JBI about this, and it seems to be normal. And as long as I have no signs of infection (e.g. fever, hot boob, redness, chills, etc.), I should be fine. I did start using bags of ice on this day, though. Just on that one boob. It feels SO GOOD. Reaching for things has become easier. I can put my hair back in a ponytail if I lower my head down a little bit. I can lift things (obviously nothing crazy heavy). I can pretty much take care of myself at this point, but am still using my mom 'n sis every now and then to do certain things for me Moving is becoming more and more easy. But I must say . . . I wish I had taken the advice of 99.9% of the women here on JBI and bought some sort of a recliner. MY BACK IS KILLING ME LIKE A MOFO! No matter how many pillows I use to prop myself up . . . whether I'm in bed up against the headboard, or on the sofa . . . my back still hurts. The chair back massager helps, but it's only slightly relieving my symptoms. I'm doing nothing to prevent the symptoms in the first place, so they keep on coming! Buying a recliner wasn't an option for me due to financial reasons, but if I had to do this again, believe me, I'd do whatever I had to do to make ends meet and get myself a recliner. I feel as if I'm walking slightly hunched over at times, just because of my back (and not because my bewbies are so huge and heavy - LoL). Sunday, Jun. 21, 4 Days PO: I woke up not too long ago. Had that crazy pain again in my right bewbie. It's gone now that I have moved around a bit. I think this burning sensation is like my own morbid version of Morning Boob. But I'd like to re-name it to . . . Morning Branding. Because that's what it feels like. Like I'm being branded, internally, by that little f***er inside of my boob. I hope he dies. On the up-side, I pooped today! I pooped once on Day 2 PO, and now again today on Day 4 PO. Someone PM'd me last night about how I did it (hey, we all know it takes a little more than sittin' on a bowl!) and it seemed to be helpful to her, so maybe my next post will include some of my tips! Anyway, today is Father's Day (so Happy Father's Day to all the daddies on JBI! J/K! - LoL). The whole family (parents, 2 sisters 'n their hubbies and kids, and my other sis) is going out to dinner. I think I'm going to opt out. A part of me does want to get out, but another part of me doesn't want to deal with sitting in a crowded place, dealing with my neices and nephew all over me (they're all between the ages of 5 and 8, so it's like who's crying to sit next to me, who wants to sit on my lap, who's coming over and trying to hug me, etc. - lol). It's cute and all, but God forbid a drain gets tugged on or something? Or they accidentally lean on one of my bewbs? LoL. My boyfriend might come over later to visit. He is so funny. He was with me on the day of surgery, Wednesday, and then he came to visit me again on Friday. (He wanted to come Thursday too, but I told him not to bother; the time for him to get here isn't worth it, and plus, it'd be better if I got more rest anyway.) Anyway, on Friday, it was my day I got to take my first shower. By the way, showering feels SO good. The warm water just loosens up EVERY part of your body. It's really wonderful! So I showered and got my sister to do my hair for me. So I was lookin' pretty good. (I'm getting deja vu, I think I wrote about this already . . . oh yea, in the Private Discussions forum - lol). Anyway, so he was all sweet and lovey dovey and all that. More than usual. And then he told me that he "wants to f- me!" I was like NO WAY! LoL. He knew that it wasn't an option at the moment, but he mentioned that I seemed to be more confident, which is why he was turned on. Hm . . . it could be that, or it could be because I had just showed him my bewbies about 5 minutes earlier! And believe me, they're not lookin' so hot at the moment. But he did say how great they're gonna look once they drop. He REALLY seemed to be excited about my bewbies when he first saw them; I could tell. ![]() Ass man, smash man. It's all bull. Every man likes a nice healthy rack. Even when they're ridin' high and hard on your chest - hehe. Tomorrow is my first Post-op! YaY! I can't wait to get these dam drains off of me! (But am scared as heck to start massaging! I think I'm going to take the advice of some others here on the forum and take a painkiller or two before my appointment!) |

![]() | Post-BA Pooping: How I Did It Yep. I'm proud to say that I pooped at Day 2 PO and Day 4 PO ![]() Last night, another member of the forum asked for my advice on how I did it, and she seemed to appreciate my response / advice so much that it inspired me to post my advice for everyone else to see. I am telling you, posting on JBI is a gift that keeps on giving. It feels so good to finally be on the other end and be able to help girls who still have yet to get their BAs. Here's My Advice! #1: My plastic surgeon told me that, for 1 week before my BA and 2 weeks after, take 30mg of Zinc (among other vitamins/homeopathics) per day. According to my plastic surgeon, Zinc is vital for collagen production and aids in would healing. Anyway, when I started taking the Zinc pre-op, I noticed that it was softening my bowels. It might be a good idea to ask your plastic surgeon if you can take this pre- and post-op. Not only is it good for healing, but it could possibly help sofen YOUR bowels as well. #2: Psyllium Seed Husk. It's powdery-like in substance, but what it actually is is the coating (or husk) of a seed that comes from a psyllium plant. Instructions tell you to mix a teaspoon of it with a full glass of water, and drink it ASAP. Then chase it with another glass of clean water. I like this because, well, on a normal day (no BA) I will drink it and go to the bathroom within 2 hours. It works fast. And it's all-natural. Most over the counter laxatives (the chemical kind) actually tend to bloat you up, despite making you poop. This stuff doesn't do that. One downfall is that the consistency is thick (which I don't like). You can find this stuff at any vitamin-type of store, like GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe. Warning: I wouldn't drink this stuff more than once in 10 days or so. You can get easily dehydrated from it, and so you should really be drinking a lot of water during the day that you drank it. I took 2 servings of it once in a day (about a month ago) and got bad cramps from it. #3: Laci Le Beau Super Dieter's Tea. It's an herbal laxative tea that is made up of an herb called Senna. I'm sure any laxative tea with Senna in it will do; this just happens to be the brand that's available to me and that I like. Again, this can be found at any vitamin-type of store like GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe. How I Put This All Together: Well, I've been taking the Zinc every day since a week pre-op (I've been taking it for about 11 days now). On Day 2 Post Op, I took the Psyllium Seed Husk and drank 1 cup of the dieter's tea. I don't think it was necessary to use BOTH. I should have only taken the Psyllium Seed Husk. I made 3 trips to the bathroom right after that. LoL. They were all healthy poops. But I really think that taking both the Psyllium Seed Husk AND the dieter's tea was not really necessary. Then on Day 3 Post Op, at night, I drank the dieter's tea again. I pooped the next morning (this morning). One trip this time, but it was a healthy poop. I have no time for rabbit poop! Other than that, I've been trying to eat foods that are known to help move things along. But don't get me wrong, I'm not going crazy over everything that I eat. Some of the better things I've eaten include: yogurt Fiber 1 Bar grilled chicken salad fruits: grapes, cherries & canned peaches steamed chicken w/ broccoli turkey on whole wheat bread . . . and so on! Oh, one last tip: #4: I got this from a book called, "The Master Cleanse," by Stanley Burroughs. In the morning, on an empty stomach, I repeat, ON AN EMPTY STOMACH, drink a quart of water mixed with 1 teaspoon of iodized sea salt. It must be iodized, and it must be SEA salt. Drink it in a timely manner (don't go sippin' on it like it's a margharita - drink it pretty quickly). This will make you go within an hour or two. I didn't do this, though, post-BA. While this does work, I really think that the Psyllium Seed Husk works so much better. Hope this helped! |

![]() | 4 Days PO - Update on Update Just some things I'd like to add to my Day 4 PO experience . . . I did wind up relaxing all day, didn't go out for Father's Day. But I feel as if today was the day that I made the most progress, especially as the day went on. Here are some changes that I've noticed later on in the evening:
What I think has seriously helped me get to this place was the fact that over the last two days, I really did nothing but lay around and surf the net, watch TV, etc.. I also spent a lot of time on Percocets, allowing myself to drift ub and out of sleep. It just felt so good to be relaxing. But the last Percocet I took was this afternoon, and I plan on stopping them altogether. I just took 2 Tylenol PMs to help me sleep. I can't wait until tomorrow's first post-op appointment. I'm driving into the city with my sister. Well, she's driving. And it's so funny how things work out: She has a job interview that day (als in the city) at 2pm, and my post-op appointment is at 3:30! It shouldn't take her long, since it's her last interview with this same company (crossing my fingers for her!). So while she's at the interview, I'm going to hang around at a Barnes and Noble or something, read some books and have a bite to eat. After she's done, we're going to head on over to the East side to my bewbie appointment. Here's what I'm hoping for with regards to tomorrow's post-op appointment: 1. I'm hoping that I get my drains removed. 2. I'm hoping that I get the outer part of my internal sutures removed. Sounds like a contradiction - LoL. Let me explain: I had tuberous breasts and resultingly had no crease or fold. In order to create a crease/fold for the implant to sit at, I had internal sutures placed at the position where the crease should be (thus creating a crease!). The sutures serve to reinforce this fold internally so that the implant doesn't try to bottom out. So anyway . . . from this, I have a few stiches sticking out at the bottoms of my breasts at the creases. This part of the stitching will be removed (but not the internal part). I am hoping that these stitches will be removed tomorrow, because they are none too comfortable. I feel like my skin is stapled to my inside tissues. (In fact, that's probably exactly what was done, in layman's terms!) I'm happy that the plastic surgeon told me that these would leave no scars. Maybe a few tiny dot/marks, but they'll fade fast. 3. I'm hoping that massaging my breasts doesn't hurt! 4. I'm hoping that my plastic surgeon tells me that I am doing fine and well, and that my bewbies are healing up nicely. Not that I have any doubts! But it's always nice to hear it coming from a professional! |

![]() | 5 Days PO - First Post-Op Appointment Well I am 5 days PO today. And let me tell you that today was THE day that I REALLY felt great. During recovery, you'd be surprised at the things you can and can't do. Seemingly simple tasks prove to be a challenge; whereas seemingly challenging tasks prove to be a breeze. Go figure. ![]() Some good milestones that I hit today are: *I can put on a normal shirt (over my head)!! *My crazy burning pains in my right breast are decreasing in frequency and intensity!! *I pooped again today!! (OK, so I have an obsession with pooping! I seriously get in a bad mood if I don't go every day!) *I can pretty much take care of myself (with the exception of not being able to drive yet)!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anyway, on to the interesting stuff. Here's how my post-op went . . . . . . ![]() Things turned out well today in that my sister had to go into the city as well(Manhattan) for a job interview. Her interview on the West side was at 2pm, and my post-op appointment on the East side was at 3:30pm. It was her 4th interview with the same company, so she figured that the interview wouldn't last more than a half hour. So we drove in together. Her interview was around 36th and 8th, which is very close to where the Lincoln tunnel (from Jersey to Manhattan) leaves you off. I told her to just drop me off anywhere and I'd walk around while I waited for her as she interviewed. I wound up walking up to Times Square. I was on Percocet, so it was a very funny experience. If you know anything about Manhattan, then you know that the people tend to walk at around 5mph or quicker, if possible. Even when they're not in a rush. My boyfriend was born and raised in Manhattan and still lives there now; I'm from Jersey, just 15 minutes west of Manhattan, and I still live there now. It's is kinda funny when we walk together in the city. I'm always wearing a pair of cute heels, which doesn't make it any easier to keep up with him. Anyway, so back to my story . . . since I was all looped up, I was walking slow and like an idiot around Times Square. I went shopping, too.I decided to go into Sephora and find something for my sister (the same one who I had driven in with). She helped take care of me the few days after my surgery, and so I wanted to get her a little something to say "thank you." I thought that it would be nice to get her perfume, since, during the drive into the city she complained about how broke she was, and how she doesn't even have money to buy perfume. (She loves perfume!) So I bought her a box of 8 mini perfume samplers. It had Versace, Vera Wang, Bulgari, Ralph Lauren, and others. It always feels good to buy things for others. Then I left the store, walked around some more, and finally she called me. She was done with the interview. I told her where I was, she picked me up, and we drove over to the Upper East Side for my post-op appointment. (By the way, she loved the perfume!) I got to my plastic surgeon's office and they took me in right away. The patient coordinator said that I seem to be doing very well by the way I was walking around. She commented that a lot of people come in very lethargic, and that "it's different for everyone." I wanted to say, "HELL YEA, I'M A WARRIOR!" LoL. But I didn't. Hehe. She brought me into the exam room, and left me alone to take off my shirt and bra and put on a gown. After that, my AMAZING, WONDERFUL plastic surgeon came into the office with his AMAZING nurse. They were very happy to see me and were in such good spirits. First, my plastic surgeon commented on how much he liked the size. Then I told him that I was so happy with them, and that I think they're gonna be amazing once they drop, and that the size is exactly what I had wanted! After that, my plastic surgeon asked me about my drain tubes. He wanted to see the daily log sheet of my fluid output. (I had to record how much fluid was drained from each tube every 24 hours.) After reviewing the log, my plastic surgeon determined that I was ready to get my drains removed. THANK THE LORD UP ABOVE! They were really starting to get uncomfortable. Not painful; just uncomfortable. So I sat in the exam chair, and they eased the seat back so that I was lying down. As I was lying there, I started telling my plastic surgeon about the burning pain that I was getting in my right breast. I kept telling him that it felt hot. Like I was being stuck inside with a hot poker. As I was telling him about it . . . Plastic Surgeon: (Says to nurse) "Did we give her the warm implants?" Nurse: "Hmm, yes, we did!" Me: "What do you mean, warm implants?" Plastic Surgeon: "Well we have these implants that heat up from the center, and warm your body . . . " Me: (Somewhat confused) "Really?" Then, all of a sudden . . . . POP! (The plastic surgeon had removed one of my drains.) Me: (In a great deal of pain) "OOOOouuuuucchhhH!" After those 3 seconds of pain . . . Me: "Are you serious about those implants?" Plastic Surgeon & Nurse: (Laughing) "No!" Then I went on to remind them of how gullible I am with things like that. It was a good laugh for all of us. The other drain came out with such great ease. NO PAIN AT ALL. Hm, they do say that laughter is the best medicine! Here's What He Did & Said About My Bewbies: 1. He put bandages on the site of the drain tube insertion and told me that I can remove them tomorrow morning before my shower. 2. I will get my crease sutures (not my incision sutures; I got the circumareolar incision) removed next Wednesday (9 days from now). These are internal sutures that he placed to reinforce and secure a crease, since I basically had NO crease to start out with. Anyway, these sutures sutures stick out externally. They'll be kept in internally forever, but the external ones will come out. Hard to explain. I also have to clean these external sutures with hydrogen peroxide every once in a while. 3. I can start one type of massaging. I have to do push my breasts together 4 times a day, 4 times each. Further massage instructions will be given at my next post-op appointment. 4. Always wear a very supportive bra. Hm . . . I think that's it! After my post-op appointment, my sister and I drove back to Jersey and went to a local pub. We had crab cakes for an appetizer, and I had a grilled chicken salad for a meal, and a Grey Goose mixed with unsweetened iced tea for a drink. It was yummy. Then, on the drive home we got in a nasty wicked fight. You see, while we were eating, I asked her to drive me to the mall so that I can buy a few cheap sports bras. She said OK. Well, after we left the pub, she started driving in the direction OPPOSITE the mall. So I said to her, "I thought we were going to the mall?" And she said, all annoyed, "Ughhhhh, at THIS time it's going to be so trafficy getting there!" Like I was asking so much from her. Please. I buy the girl a thank you gift for doing the bare minimum in helping take care of me post-op (and plus, my mother helped out too!) . . . and she can't drive me to the mall? It would have taken about 25 minutes to get there. So yes, wicked argument that I can't even get into now. Oh well. A part of me thinks that her blood boils when she sees how happy I am with my boyfriend (she has disasterous relationships, one after the other); how I have a good job (and she is currently unemployed); how I have pritty titties (she may be a natural C, but she'll never be as perky as me!) . . . LoL. I really feel as if my happiness is what brought her down and ultimately made her POP. She truly pulled a complete 180. She was yelling at me in the car at the top of her lungs. And me? I don't know it, but I stayed COOL AS A CUCUMBER. I talked calmly and with a normal speaking volume. And I think that made her even crazier - LoL. So that's my story! |

![]() | 6 & 7 Days PO - Update If it's one thing I've learned from this BA, it's this: Although you may feel at times as if your body is completely healed, it doesn't mean that it really is completely healed. I say this because all of my activity since my first post-op appointment (at Day 5 PO) has pretty much exhausted me. Reminder: Day 5 I walked around the city for 45 minutes on a Percocet and shopped, then went to my post-op appointment, then had a late lunch with my sister. On Day 6 PO, the day after that, I felt it. I just wanted to lie in bed all day. I was so tired! Like exhausted. Pooped. You get the idea. But me . . . being the impulsive and impatient person that I am, decided that I DESPERATELY needed to buy a few sports bras, because I COULD NOT keep wearing the same one that my plastic surgeon gave me. Let me explain . . . Since it was post-op I pretty much acted like a pig around the house. That is to say, I showered at Day 2 post-op, as instructed, and then showered every other day after that (for fear of the water making my steri-strips come off sooner than expected). I also neglected to wear deodorant because, well, if I don't like lifting up my arms to put it on, then why should I? Plus, I've been confined in my house. Who've I got to look and smell good for? LOL. Anyway, so as I was saying . . . My post-op bra, I realized on Day 3 PO, got smelly (sweat). So I washed it that same day. Then I was thinkin' to myself . . . there is NO WAY I'm gonna be sittin' around washing this bra every other friggin' day. Screw that. I need to buy some sports bras! And nicer lookin' ones, at that! Well, I had no one to take me to the mall to buy some sports bras, and I HAD to go to the mall to buy them (I wanted to hit the GAP because a girl I know in person who has implants claimed that GAP makes REALLY comfortable, and affordable, sports bras). When I want something, I am HELL BENT on getting it RIGHT THEN AND THERE. So before I go on with this story, let me re-cap: 5 Days PO: Walking around city/shopping/post-op appointment/late lunch. 6 Days PO: Extremely exhausted from the day before; but was so impatient and eager to get these sports bras that I DROVE to the mall and bought the dam bras. I wasn't even supposed to be driving! My plastic surgeon instructed me not to drive until Day 10 PO. Driving wasn't that easy, but it wasn't impossible. I drive an automatic, so that helped. But with turning . . . you have to make slow turns, and slowly shift the wheel. You can't turn hard or fast. So Days 5 and 6 PO were just tiring days. But . . . want to know something great? THAT CRAZY SHARP, SCORCHING, BURNING PAIN IN MY RIGH BEWBIE HAD STOPPED COMPLETELY ON DAY 6 PO!!!!!! ![]() Thank goodness. Because there were times it hurt so badly that my whole body would freeze and just wait for the pain to stop. It was really bad. Let's see, what else can I update on? OH! 4 Topics: 1. Being Emotional 2. Getting Off Pain Meds Completely 3. Back Pain 4. Bloat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Numbers 1 & 2 are related, so I'll combine them here: Being Emotional & Getting Off Pain Meds Completely: On Day 6 PO I tried to go the whole day without taking ANY of my pain meds. And I realized that I started to get, like, emotional and depressed. I was not only tired that day, but just generally grumpy and feelin' crappy. And I wondered if it was because I had stopped taking my pain meds. So . . . later on in the night I took a Percocet. Soon after I felt emotionally & mentally stable again. I felt cool as a cucumber! A part of me believes that the Boobie Blues have many possible causes and combinations of such causes. And withdrawal or detox from the pain meds HAS TO BE ONE OF THEM! I even tried again today, at Day 7 PO, to stop the pain pills completely. I did good all day. No pills. But my back was hurting me SO MUCH before, that later on in the night I caved in and took a Percocet. Not only do I feel mentally better, but my back pain is gone. God help me when I run out of these meds. On to Number 3: Back Pain My back has been killing me like a MOFO since I can remember. Sleeping sucks. I slept on my arm I think, and my arm has been hurting me for 3 days now. My upper back . . . no matter how I sit or how I stand, HURTS LIKE HELL, and it's probably from having to sleep on my back. Let me tell you, sleeping on your side or stomach really is NOT an option. I can tolerate lying on my side for no more than 2-3 minutes at a time. It's like . . . the pressure on your breasts, the pushing of them together, hurts them. The internal/external sutures also cause discomfort. Number 4: Bloat Another thing I've learned post-BA: Just because you poop daily, doesn't mean that you won't be bloated. I was almost in tears today trying to fit into my skinny jeans. I felt like such a fat pig. I feel as if I'm trying so hard not to eat that much, to eat healthier foods, ESPECIALLY since I can't go to the gym for a while . . . but alas, I'm still a fat pig. This post-op water weight gain is NOT A JOKE. And, speaking of which, it's probably another possible contribution to the Boobie Blues. I really thought that the Boobie Blues had passed up my house . . . I even started a thread about it! But I am telling you . . . ever since I started trying to get off the pain meds, I've been an emotional wreck (so, it's been over the last two days, Days 6 and 7 PO). 7 Days PO, Today: I cried 3 times today. Once when I was watching a woman give birth on "A Baby Story." Another time was when I was watching "Fools Rush In." Last time was when I was trying to find pants that didn't make me feel like a porker. I went out to dinner with my parents and boyfriend tonight. I'd love to say that I had a good time, but I felt fat, my back was KILLING me, I felt hot (temperature-wise, LoL, not looks-wise!), and . . . AND I was having a bad hair day. And those dam interna/external sutures at my crease were bothering me. I am telling you. Staples to my chest. STAPLES! OK, OK, I don't want to sound like a downer. On the Upside . . . Warning: This part refers to sex, so if you're sensitive about it, don't read further! It's not too dirty, though! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY BEWBIES! Tonight, I showed my boyfriend how my plastic surgeon instructed me to push my bewbs together lightly (massage). And as I was showing him, he goes, "oh yea, I'll definitely be able to get it in between there" (referring to his penis; him titty F-ing me!). I also let him have a good look at my bewbies up close, and I let him feel them, etc., since the last time he got to see and touch them in person was on Day 2 PO (so that was 5 days ago!). So anyway, we were lying on my bed, watching the Mets game. I was lying on my back (as usual ), and he started rubbin' me all over my stomach, neck, bewbies, and, you know, that special spot. He said to me, "baby, what do you want me to do to you. Anything that will make you happy right now, I'll do." I was very tempted to accept his offer, but got kinda annoyed. I CLEARLY told him earlier today that I was NOT going to shave. I'm not allowed to take a bath ANYWAY, and I can't shave in the shower because I have to soak in the tub for 10 minutes or else my skin will get irritated from shaving! So if I can't soak in the tub, then I can't shave! OK, I can shave my legs in the shower, but I can't shave IN THAT ONE SPOT! YOU KNOW! So this, in my wacko mind, means NO SEX. If I'm not shaven, I won't have sex. LoL. But I swear . . . I think the fact that he KNEW sex was off-limits made him want it MORE. Shit. It made ME want it more! I would've been happy to just service HIM and make HIM happy . . . but him touching me got me all turned on, him checkin' out my bewbies and touching me got HIM all turned on . . . and then . . . well . . . you know . . . like Daniel said in that movie, "The Other Sister," . . . "WE DID IT." :rofl: We had good 'ol sex with me riding reverse cowgirl; which killed 2 birds with 1 stone: It's my favorite position, AND it didn't allow him to SEE my hairy cooch. I didn't let the girls out because they're not ready for sex yet; and he was smart enough not to get involved with them. My muscles are still tight, steri strips are still on, internal/external sutures are still in, etc. So the sex improved my mood. So did a Percocet. LoL. But I only took it for my back. But now, my mood is better, too. Woo-Hoo!I'm going to be spending the weekend at his place, which will be good for me. I'll be too distracted to be emotional: he'll be there to make me feel beautiful (and not fat), and I'll be busy showin' off my bewbies as we go out on the town! Thanks for reading if you've made it this far! |

I then proceeded to re-read that post of mine and realized . . . shit. I am a mess. (But at least I don't have to be back to work until July 1, so I do have some time to clean up my act! )Awesome for you for getting that strap off! They say it's a dread. I was blessed with not having to have one; but other things made up for the discomfort (drains, sutures). I never heard of the icy hot patch. What is that? Maybe I'll sleep with the heating pad on tonight. This Percocet has to wear off sooner or later ![]() Thanks for responding! | |
