Introducing Rita and Lucy...

hollybearie · 11-16-2009, 11:11 AM

Yes, that is what my BF has named them. Rita is the right one and Lucy is the left. Don’t ask where he came up with the names. He just woke up one morning and decided he wanted to name them. Silly boy.
Anyway, here is my breast augmentation story start to present.

11-13-09: Got to PS office around 2:15. Didn’t actually see the doctor until 3 and boy was I antsy. I was jumping around, playing with the model implants, and just being crazy. Finally my PS came in and drew on me. I then proceeded to do a few model moves with my sexy permanent marker. haha The CRNA came in about 15 minutes later to talk to me about the anesthesia. I told him to definitely give me something for nausea just in case. Then I said goodbye to my BF and off to the OR I went. Once I got in there and was on the table I started freaking out a bit. It all became real to me. There were 4 nurses in there and they were all very nice. The one nurse was putting the compression things on my legs and the anesthesiologist was starting my double IV. They were talking to me about being from MI and living in Chicago for a few years and what brought me to the east coast. The last thing I remember is them asking me when I was getting married and me telling them I chose boobs over a ring. Haha.
Next thing I can remember is being in my BF’s truck and talking on the phone to my mom. I guess I kept telling everyone that I had big boobs. Which I do, of course! I talked to my mom and my BF’s mom and my best friend. Don’t really remember much of the conversations as I was still pretty out of it.
Once we got home it was straight to the couch for me. My wonderful BF had ice on me every 15 minutes and I was able to take a pain pill and eat a few crackers. Then it was sleepy time. But not before taking a few pictures and sending them to friends and family :-) My lovely BF iced me all night and I vaguely remember him waking me up to take more meds. All in all I didn’t feel any pain. I was just very very tired. Each time I woke up to take more meds I did 5 reps of lifting my arms up over my head and back down.

11-14-09: Day after – went to see PS for my post op appointment. Him and the nurse were blown away at how alert I was and how I could move my arms so much. PS said I had pretty minimal swelling and a small amount of bruising around the incision. Cleared me to start taking Advil for inflammation but to keep on the muscle relaxers and antibiotic. Also showed me how to start massaging them. We left the PS office and went out to breakfast. Still feeling great! I took a little nap on the drive home since we live about an hour away from my surgeon. Got home, took a quick nap on the couch, took some more pain meds and off we went again. BF’s sister and brother in law were in town for a wedding so we went to visit with them at their hotel. Hung out with them for a few hours and then we came back home. I was still feeling sleepy so I pretty much dozed on the couch for the remainder of the evening. Around 10pm I took a pain pill and got into bed. Woke up at 3am to take my meds and made the mistake of not eating anything and just going back to sleep.

11-15-09: I paid for my not eating with meds mistake. Got sick just once but it sure did take a lot out of me. I stopped taking pain meds and switched to just Tylenol but was asleep on the couch almost the entire day. I finally got up around 4ish and went grocery shopping with the BF. Then we came home and made dinner. After we ate I made cookies, cleaned the apartment a bit, did some laundry and watched TV. I did take my pain meds last night to help me sleep but I don’t think I needed them.

11-16-09: Today – still feeling great! I’m back at work and have no pain at all. Just a lot of tightness. It seems to go away if I move my arms so I am trying to keep them going. I took my B12 this morning so I’m not feeling too sleepy. But if I had a couch to lay on I’m sure I would fall asleep. I am still amazed at how much better I feel each day. I didn’t think I was feeling too bad to begin with but today I feel completely like myself.

Thanks again to all the JBI girls that gave me so much knowledge throughout this process. I would be so lost if I didn’t have you girls.

Hope everyone else is recovering as smoothly as I have been!

I posted pics of the last 3 days and will continue to post. I love seeing the changes they make!
