Mikaela’s Blog: 2 Weeks and Counting
August 31st, 2009
I wore a strapless dress today and looked awesome! I don’t feel any pain at all, only a little tightness. I’m loving not having to vacuum or carry anything yet!
3 Weeks Following My Surgery
The implants are starting to get softer and settle into position, as the swelling goes away now. I can barely feel them anymore! I still can’t lie on my stomach comfortably, but I can do everything else perfectly. I feel like every day my recovery gets better and better, and I’m already used to my new figure. All and all, I’m happy, they look great, and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to have surgery! I can see why my mom enjoys working there; the staff is wonderful. I’m glad that I could share my experience on the blog.
Mikaela’s Blog: Mother’s Reflections
August 28th, 2009
Take it Easy. Now it is fun to talk with Mikaela about how she is feeling and about how she looks, which is amazing with respect to both issues. She has been trying on outfits to see how different she looks. I am so happy for her and she thinks that the size she chose is perfect, she is smiling.
Our lives are pretty much back to normal. Mikaela is back to running every day, although she is wearing two sports bras and not pushing too hard. I MUST OFTEN REMIND HER TO TAKE IT EASY! I encourage her to listen to her body.
Mikaela has always had a quiet, understated confidence. Now she seems to be displaying that confidence more openly. The best thing about this entire experience is how cool it has been to share it with my daughter and write about it in the blog. She is a beautiful young lady, inside and out, I am thankful!
