Friday was my first day home after receiving my two new additions.<\/p>\n
Well, late Thursday night, early Friday morning …<\/p>\n
However you want to count it.<\/p>\n
I think I fell asleep around 1:00 a.m. …<\/p>\n
And though not sleeping soundly,<\/p>\n
I had a fairly decent set of sleep consisting of 3 hours on,<\/p>\n
A few hours off,<\/p>\n
And then a bit more snoozage.<\/p>\n
Pretty much my standard operating procedure.<\/p>\n
Now throughout round of surgery …<\/p>\n
Mom gets super mom props.<\/p>\n
Bright and early,<\/p>\n
On Day 1,<\/p>\n
She arrived at my house to make me breakfast,<\/p>\n
Mmmmmm …. scrambled eggs, and just the way I like them ! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Of course, she checked to make sure I was okay,<\/p>\n
And then helped clean me up …<\/p>\n
Which I desparately needed.<\/p>\n
She scrubbed off some of the remnant blood crusting I had here and there,<\/p>\n
Cleaned up the stitches underneath my nose as part of my upper lip lift,<\/p>\n
Added the antibiotic creme for moisturizing,<\/p>\n
Along with the petroleum jelly to my lips.<\/p>\n
Finally combed out my hair, which it desparately needed.<\/p>\n
Despite feeling like krap,<\/p>\n
Her kind compliments about how I looked certainly helped improve the spirits.<\/p>\n
She specifically had nice words to say about the upper lip lift Dr. Z did on me,<\/p>\n
Which I have to agree …<\/p>\n
Though such a small thing,<\/p>\n
Really seems to be a nice touch.<\/p>\n
Super thanks Mom ! \ud83d\ude42
\n
\nAnyways,<\/p>\n
Mom left and I sort of did a little work from my house,<\/p>\n
And slept off and on …<\/p>\n
Until around 2:00 p.m. when she came back again to check in on me.<\/p>\n
By this time,<\/p>\n
I was starting to feel pretty yucky,<\/p>\n
But it was going to be another 2 days before I could shower again and I was sure not enjoying this part of the post surgery tortune.<\/p>\n
Now as far as the results of the surgery go …<\/p>\n
The healthy increase in my lip size as a result from the fat grafting,<\/p>\n
Seems to attract everyone’s attention.<\/p>\n
Now yes, the lips are much bigger,<\/p>\n
But other than being a pain in the butt to keep moist and soft,<\/p>\n
They really don’t hurt that much.<\/p>\n
Except there does seem to be a bit of occasionally painful pulling along one of the stitches underneath my nose when I move my upper lip too quickly.<\/p>\n
Usually only happens when I’m talking or eating though,<\/p>\n
Which as we all know,<\/p>\n
Is something I rarely do !! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Anyways, fat grafting fades like crazy, and …<\/p>\n
By the time you see the Day 4 pictures,<\/p>\n
They’ll have diminished in size substantially.<\/p>\n
Now as far as Amanda and Nicole go …<\/p>\n
Most people probably wouldn’t even notice the change in boobage,<\/p>\n
As they really aren’t that much different in size than the falsies I had made part of my normal attire.<\/p>\n
However, if you want to get technical about it … Amanda and Nicole really are bigger than the previous falsies I was using. I’m sure some of it is just that they are bigger in size, but there is probably a component of swelling which probably adds to the new massness on my chest.<\/p>\n
Anyways on Day 1, they were still all bandaged up and taped down,<\/p>\n
So I still hadn’t seen what they looked like …<\/p>\n
Other than reminding me of …<\/p>\n
What I would look like if I had a loaf of Wonder bread horizontally attached to my chest.<\/p>\n
However, they are still very sore.<\/p>\n
I feel a pretty extreme tightness across both breasts,<\/p>\n
And I can clearly feel my underlying muscles have been somewhat strained to accommodate the twins.<\/p>\n
However, but for the tightness …<\/p>\n
There really isn’t much pain at all.<\/p>\n
And I seem to be able to take full breaths without any particular discomfort.<\/p>\n
As of Day 1,<\/p>\n
I’m down to taking one Vicodin every eight hours and only took a Valium when I went to sleep. However, I am being a good patient and still taking religiously the antiswelling and antibiotic medication Dr. Z prescribed.<\/p>\n
Anyways …<\/p>\n
Here’s the Day 1 pic for your mocking pleasure !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
