For anyone that's still paying attention:
I had a doctors appointment today ;)
Things went pretty well. First of all he released me out of the tight ass sports bras, said I no longer need the pressure on my breasts, just a *minimal amount* of support from here on out. YAY! The ones I had were actually starting to bruise my ribs, so that to me was awesome news since I have 2 bras that I've owned for years that still fit and also fit the doctors requirements and they're comfortable.
He said 3-4 months before any kind of underwire though because it will hurt me (I believe him and any excuse not to have to jam wires under my boobs is good enough for me!)
He said all my surgical cuts are healing better and faster than expected (which was his concern about the smoking so THERE! PFFT!!) He has given me the go ahead to get in the pool in a couple more days. He wants my scabs to stop getting soft when they get wet before I can swim,
I HAVE THE OK TO HAVE SEX!!! But...no "rough stuff" as he put it...well..dammit, doesn't THAT just fucking ruin it then? LOL
Whatever, it made Mr grin ;)
Dr also gave me the go ahead to lose the belly binder for a couple of hours a day and by the end of next week I'll be down to 12 hours a day having to wear it and the following week I'll be able to get rid of it all together. So, when I got home I actually got to take a nap NAKID!...it felt DEeeeeeeeVINE!
He also wants to me start trying to sleep in my bed again instead of the recliner. Partly because we talked about my back bothering me from overcompensating for my tummy muscles and partly so my muscles can start relaxing a little bit (laying flat or on my side in the bed as opposed to sitting half upright in the chair with my knees propped on pillows) That's also great becaue I really <REALLY> miss sleeping next to Mr.
He said the swelling is still going down quite a bit but I do have a little bit to go yet. I mentioned the fluid colected in my mons area and he said that was normal after the last drains come out and it will resolve itself in a few days (which I think it already has a little bit)
They had me schedule my weekly lymphatic massages which will help me get the feeling back in my tummy as well as help reduce swelling as also help resolve any pockets of collected fluid anywhere.
Starting next week, I can start walking 10-15 minutes a day...I'll be walking my shorty to <or> home from school then since his school is 3 blocks from the house, but I'm not allowed to to both ways yet...he'll love that hehe.
Even tho the doctor gave me the ok for sex...Mr still wants to wait a few more days for <actual> sex. Jerk did manage to get me all hot today by laying down next to me when I laid down to nap and grabbing my hair and biting my shoulders..then once he had me all awake he demanded a bj (yum!)...made for some really interesting dreams for me after I drifted off this afternoon LOL. Jerk! <3
Life is creeping back to normal (well...normal for <us>) And every day I am feeling stronger and better.
Over the last several weeks I have made some real changes in my life, not just the surgery, but things like my eating choices (staying away from chios and junk food) and before my surgery I was actually getting off my ass and moving my body (speed walking) and when I am well enough I have plans to join an exercise class. I never would have done ANY of these things if it weren't for my father making the sacrifice that he did. His death and my subsequent inheritance (that's how I refer to it anyway) allowed me the chance at enough money all at the same time to finally do something I've been wanting to do for years (the tummy tuck/boob job) and now that I've done it, I am not going to waste what I spent on continuing to live my life the way I did beforehand. It's funny, when I got the cashiers check to send to the doctors office I could hearmy dad snorting as if he were dissapproving of my choice to spend it the way I was...my answer back was "Shoosh Dad, you would have gambled it away" and not only that, it wasn't JUST about the surgery for me...it's about granting myself a whole new life as well. I think every penny I spent was worth it. Worth it for me to have a better life.

p.s. I may or may not update this thread further. Not many are reading it any more and it's more of a therapy thing for me at this point than anything anyway ;)
Thanks for listening! <3
