Got the pesky drain out yesterday at my post op visit. So after being told I could be off six weeks, then only four, I'm being told again it may be back to six. Dr Gill doesn't want me to rip out any of my stitches in there by pushing or pulling too much. I will know more on Sept 8 when I go for another visit. I have dermabond glue over my incisions under the breasts which will stay on another week to 10 days. Once that comes off, I'm suppose to use a silicone based gel to help lessen the color of the scars on my chest from my mastectomy, and the bypass scar. I'm not certain right now I will go forth with getting nipples reconstructed. I feel like my scar is so big there across the breast that it wouldn't look right. That's up in the air for now. So glad to get the expanders out and have soft natural feeling breasts in there. Tomorrow I have an ultrasound to check those ovulatory cysts again and talk to Dr Boyd about my labs I had done for her. It's hard trying to hang out and do nothing but rest when you feel so good. I'm having a bit of anxiety over being alone during the days my kids are at school and I'm all alone. I want to be productive and help out my family but I still have restrictions I have to abide by. I just need one thing to accomplish each day and I would feel better and not as guilty staying home.
