Becky’s Breast Reduction- 4 days later

I went to the doctor today to have my wounds redressed. He says I am healing up well and the stitches should come out next Monday. I’m in almost no pain from the surgery. The main problem I am having is nausea from the antibiotics. I don’t think I have ever been on such strong antibiotics. As soon as I take one I have to fight to keep it down and I’m taking them every 6 hours. On the bright side, the doctor said I can resume showering as of today. I’m so glad. My hair is a mess! I tried that dry shampoo but it didn’t really impress me.
My back and neck have never felt better. I am having no back pain at all, even though I’m having to sleep on my back now. It’s awesome to wake up feeling good. I can’t wait until I’m completely healed so I can start putting my new life into action. My goal is to eventually RUN a mile. I’ve only ever walked a mile, so running will be a big deal for me. I’ll definitely have to work up to it.
Also, my clothes are fitting better than ever. My buttons aren’t pulling and I look a few sizes smaller all around. My husband told me I look great, which was nice to hear. I was worried about how he would react to the reality of the surgery, but he is super pleased.
This has really changed my life for the better. I can’t wait to be out of this ugly surgical bra and back to NORMAL. Be blessed. I’ll update soon.
