Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Hi all, I've been away for ages, first at the coast, then had explant done yesterday. It took about an hour, they removed everything including the capsule. PS says both were leaking silicone, one had begun to harden, but my capsules were very thin.No inflammation visible, so no drains needed. I had much less pain than I imagined I'd have, was up and about as soon as the aneasthetic wore off. Since it would have been a whole big mission to get 2 drivers to come fetch me and my car, I got fed up and drove home 3 hours later, ( my doctor had told me not to, due to effects of aneasthetic, but I was truly, truly wide awake, would not have taken a chance otherwise). I even cooked when I got home ! I had some pain last night, but 2 tabs fixed it and I slept OK, just not used to sleeping on my back much. This am I felt very good, no pain at all, I mean none ! Then had a few sharp pains in my left breast, but they've gone now. Removed the sticky bandage today as per doc's instructions and am wearing the recommended bra. I was amused to find that not even a 36A would fit, a tad too big, but it's all I could find, so that's what I'm wearing. Guess what ? I LOVE my little boobs !!! They're cute, and they're MINE ! I will get some sort of falsies to wear under my clothes just so my figure looks a bit more balanced, and to avoid all the curious stares from clients/aquantances, but I am soooo relieved to have done this !!Way down deep I just KNOW it was the right thing. It's going to be interesting to see how my health improves after this !! I don't know if I'm just in the honeymoon period, but mentally I feel extremely positive ! I cannot believe that I feel so strong and have so little pain. I'm not going wild though, avoiding driving around for the next few days, as that seems to cause some discomfort, but otherwise I feel wonderful ! Just need stitches removed in about 7-10 days and 1 follow up visit after that. I've been using a lot of hypnosis to make this work for me, and it's helped heaps. Right now my body is telling me it wants LOTS of water, something I don't usually drink much of. I'm also craving juiced fruits and vegs, so it's easy. I feel out of touch with you all, but my wrists were really hassling me back there and I hardly ever switched on the computer. Glad to be back though !
