Here's how the surgery went: I checked in and was called back to have my vitals checked, did urine test to make sure I wasn't pregnant, and my IV was put in. I think the girl who did my IV was a newbie because OUCH! Then Dr. Mosier came by and marked up my chest and it looked like a road map. The anesthesiologist came by and gave me my cocktail and we were off. The surgery room was frigid but thankfully I had my "Bair Paw" gown on that is constantly being pumped with warm air. I was awake in the OR long enough for me to help move myself to the bed and then someone put a gas mask on my face and I was OUT! I woke back up in recovery with a bad headache but it went away w/in the hour. 30 minutes and a cup of ice chips later, I was wheeled out to my mom's car and off we went.
First stop, Starbuck's! I wanted coffee so bad so mom stopped and we both got one. I chugged that thing so fast, LOL. Then we went by Galaxy Cafe where she picked up Chicken Tortilla soup and Tomato soup, yum yum! I was starved. Then it was off to bed I went after popping my Soma muscle relaxer and my pain med, Xartemis. I haven't been able to rest for long periods of time but have definitely been sleepy all day. Mom went to the store and got stuff to bake scones and pot roast for dinner tomorrow. Tonight we are having chicken pot pie...I can't wait!
I am feeling so great! This is nothing compared to my last surgery. My boobs don't really hurt so much as just the new incision sites and the muscles under my left arm pit as he had to tighten/sew up the left side because that expander was sitting to far to the side. I am in a really tight medial tube top but I snuck a peak and boy do they look AMAZING! Dr. Mosier decided to go with the larger implant so I'm sitting at 440 cc's! I tried to give them a little squeeze to test their squishiness but it's a bit too soon for all that! I get this tube top off on Friday and will really get to see them. I plan on doing a lot of resting, especially tomorrow as mom has to go into work for a few hours, so it will just be me and the cat.
Head on over the photo gallery to see some last few pics with my expanders and the glittery heart nippies! :D
