Becky’s Breast Reduction- 1 day later

My surgery went well yesterday. I’ve had some minimal pain that has been easy to alleviate. The hardest thing so far is not being able to use my hands to push myself up off the bed. I’ve had so many bags of iv fluids that I am in the restroom every hour. I’m still swollen and bruised but look and feel better already. They took out the drainage tubes today. That was slightly uncomfortable but took less than 2 seconds on each side. I have to go back Monday and get my stitches out. Until then I am taking it easy and not touching the incisions. I have gone from a size G to a size C and couldn’t be happier with the results. I can’t wait for all the swelling to go down and to start wearing a regular (non-surgical) bra. My clothes are already fitting better and my back feels great. Keep praying that I have a speedy recovery with no set backs in my healing. Have a great week. I’ll probably update on Monday.
