And glad to...Shannon #2: So happy to hear from you! And glad to hear you had support and unscratched corneas! YAY! And yes, I was surprised how much the suturing hurt.<br /><br />Keep an eye on that red spot. Use a pen and make a circle around it so you can tell if it gets bigger. If it does, get in to see your PS. Especially if it's warm to touch. I'm sure your implants seem a lot higher than before, but remember they were too low before. They will change as the days go on. <br /><br />My restrictions: Sleep on your back only, on a 45-degree incline for 3 weeks (it helps reduce the swelling and keeps the implants in place); wear the surgical bra 24/7 for 3 weeks; eat 100 grams of protein a day; do not shower until you get your drain out (do you have a drain this time?); let the incision tape fall off on it's own, do not pull it off. (Mine is still on and it's been 3 weeks.) Do not reach for things or lift things heavier than a glass, especially the first week or two. If you feel pulling on the pec muscle, stop what you are doing. Def. no carrying anything heavy, including a purse. I had to take stuff out of mine to make it light enough. There shouldn't be any strain on your pec muscles at all. Take naps!<br /><br />PS Thanks for the blog love!Rennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617626526633867494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757387388608137930.post-60301653501745887912012-09-27T01:44:02.143-04:002012-09-27T01:44:02.143-04:00Sleeping in a normal position is something you tak...Sleeping in a normal position is something you take for granted until you can't do it!

Please tell her I'm thinking of her. <br /><br />Renn, when you get time will you tell me more about your restrictions. My PS seems so laid back. She told me I can take my surgical bra off and I had the surgery on monday. that doesn't even sound right to me. when I spoke to her yesterday she said she was worried I would think my noobs were too high. They don't look as natural as they did after my first exchange and maybe they're a tad high but my expectations are so much lower now. I just want them to stay in place and not hit the bottom lip of my ribcage. <br /><br />I'm also happy I woke up after surgery and that my husband was waiting for me and that they didn't scratch my cornea this time, and that they got the IV needle in on the first try. but the suturing is painful. <br /><br />I have a red spot on my right but my ps told me to to freak out if I get one. I have no fever. <br /><br />how are you?

How frustrating, but at least she has friends like you to help. <br /><br />Isn't it lovely to sleep on your side again? Gosh, that's just bliss. Here's hoping your recovery continues on a smooth path. <br /><br />Take care,<br />Catherine<br />Facing Cancer Togetherhttp://www.facingcancer.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757387388608137930.post-91102814523588488152012-09-26T13:27:57.228-04:002012-09-26T13:27:57.228-04:00Thanks, Pink!

It's been 3 weeks today that I had surgery. When I frame it that way, I'm able to be more patient with myself. I already have my nap scheduled!

My problem is that once I'm allowed to start adding things to my "normal" routine, I push it too far and set myself back. I'm working on that one! As for Shannon #1, please tell her I had a very similar situation, with my tissue expanders, and was hospitalized for nearly a month with infection. It's a bitch and it's very scary, but I came out the other side, and she will too. Healing thoughts are heading her way. pinkunderbellyhttp://pinkunderbelly.comnoreply@blogger.com
