I'm feeling a lot better at the end of day 2 :) I woke up feeling really stiff at 4:45 A.M. .. took 2 percocet to take the edge off and then got up to take Shamrock out for the first time by myself. I got a belt and put it through the hand loop and fastened it around my waist, that way he wouldn't be tugging my arms out. I had to keep talking to him to make sure he didn't take off, but it totally worked! But let me tell you, cold wind + new boobies = not fun at alllll lol
I went back into bed and fell in and out of consciousness for a few hours before getting out of bed @ ~10:00am. I spent a lot of the morning and afternoon doing my stretches and massaging.. and I also applied a gel ice pack for a few minutes. After all that stretching it was time for another 1 percocet at 12:15.
Kim came over at ~1:30pm and I showed her the girls lol. They're still really swollen and the implants are high up. But I was able to show her how/where things are going to drop to :)
Went to the Olive Garden at 3:00. While we were there one of the nurses called to check up on me. She asked if I was hurting a lot still. I told her that I was out to lunch and except for a little bit of sore/tightness in the morning and after stretching I was doing really well. She was so shocked that I was out at lunch. She had actually expected me not to answer because she thought I would be in bed wallowing in pain still, ha. I was told that I probably set a record, and that no other patient that she can recall was ever able to be out and about the next day - especially at a lunch :) She then explained to me how to massage myself properly and wished me good luck with recovery until my first post-op visit next Tuesday.
Kim dropped me off and all the moving around from the day started to take it's toll on me so I took 2 percocet @ 4:00pm because I planned on doing some more stretching and massaging - so I wanted to be prepared.
Spent the rest of the afternoon/night talking online with friends and skyping with my sister, Beth :)
I took one more percocet at 9:15pm because I had taken Sham out and the cold had made my muscles tense up pretty tight and start to feel really tender again.
S/N: My Victoria's Secret package came in today! I got two bathing suits, a top, and a dress.. I really want to try things on but I'm still so swollen and tender that there's no way I can attempt it :(
Pain level at the end of day 2: ~5.5 (mostly because everything still feels so tight)
