Happy 2 weeks post op!

It has been 14 days since my surgery. I have to say it is continuing to go by quickly. Just an update on how things are going...

I am finally sleeping, like a rock. I fall asleep around 11pm nightly and don't open my eyes again again 10am. I feel like a teenager again sleeping away my morning, but, I clearly need to sleep. I had major surgery and then didn't sleep for a week after. I'm so happy that I'm somewhat regular again when it comes to that. I feel much better, I feel myself healing more and it makes the days go by a little quicker. Speaking of healing, that I am. The bruises on my breast are fading, and my incision on my tummy is a long scab. However, I woke up 2 mornings ago with something a little concerning. A huge new bruise on the front of my incision. I was a little alarmed because being 12 days after my surgery I didn't think it was normal to develop new bruises. I called the doctor and explained. Thankfully they said as long as it doesn't feel harder than the surrounding skin it shouldn't be a problem. Ever since that, I have developed even more bruises. I am keeping a very close eye and am seeing my doctor tomorrow. Lets hope it is just some delayed bruising! My swelling has also come to it's peek. I am so incredibly swollen everywhere. I know a wound ends up looking uglier and uglier as it reaches its peek healing time, so I am just hoping for the best! But right now, it is UGLY!!

Mentally and for the most part physically I am feeling much better! I feel a little stuck in the house, I wish I could go out for dinner or hit the mall but I am just not ready yet. I am feeling about 60% better than I did right after surgery. I still unfortunately have a ways to go. It's hard to stand up for a long time and I get winded very easily. I am thinking by a month after surgery I will be feeling myself again. I did feel good enough to try on a bunch of new clothes I ordered. I cannot believe how different I look in clothes! I never thought the extra skin made that big of a difference but wow, seeing myself now, I can't even believe it. I cannot WAIT to heal and feel better and just get back to normal life! I miss it! But, I know the longer I lay low and relax the quicker I will heal, and heal properly which is very important!
