my top surgery recovery

Day 1: it was fine. Operation was fine everything was cool EXCEPT the two ace bandages.

Day 2: I slept. At this point I was taking all the meds they prescribed to me (a narcotic, a muscle relaxer, and a nerve pain thing)

Day 3: we (aka my family) found out I’m bad at recovery and listening to directions. This was not news to me. I made my nana cry because I wanted to sleep and 3 people kept bombarding me with questions. Last time I took any of the meds.

Day 4 & 5: first post op appointment. I didn’t like my nurse. I didn’t get my drains out. I was angry (and still doped up from yesterday). Tired but functional. Acting and doing everything as normal minus shower and lifting shit. I took of my ace bandages because I couldn’t breathe, put on old zip up binder

Day 6 & 7: same essentially.

Day 8: haha guess who’s driving?

Day 9-14: got my drains out the ninth day or tenth day idk. Um… not wearing any compression now. I wasn’t given many post op directions. I got constipation directions (and… was never constipated) and nipple instructions. Took a shower. Nipples are looking alright. The entire left side looks about 5x better than the right. I’m not really… concerned about scarring? Like I was always prepared for really awful scars and I don’t really mind if I have really awful scars. Really satisfied with my nips and the way the incisions look… umm I’ll eventually post pictures.
