home - recouperating

Last surgery was this morning.  Was at the hospital at 6:00am. Had wonderful nurses. Surgery was at 7:30am.

Feel like there was an intern from Grey's Anatomy as part of the anesthesia team - my hand is like a pin cushion!  Even though I have good veins I was a bit dehydrated - They told me not to drink!!  Finally got it done in my arm.

Much more uncomfortable then I thought I would be.  They replaced the implant in the right side and boy am I black and blue.

The dr told me I would probably be the most uncomfortable from the fat grafting portion (had a little lipo from the tummy) and he was not kidding.  They do look better from what I can see.  Boobs are all bandaged and I have plastic nipple proctectors - funny.  No showering until Sunday and then I can can not get bandages wet until after bandages are removed which will hopefully be on Wednesday.

Back to sleeping on my back for a while.

Rob is taking very good care of me - made a yummy dinner and is keeping me on schedule with my pain meds.  Ialso have to take an antibiotic this time.

Thanks for all the good wishes/prayers/emails and texts.

Love ya,
Ingrid

Date Change

FYI
-
The date of my surgery has changed to next Friday, October 19th.

They really look out for me and the doctor is going on vacation 10/25.  This way I can have the surgery and still see him for a post op visit before his vacation.
