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: 1st Week After Surgery
August 27th, 2009
The First Week. I almost feel back to normal on the fourth day following surgery. I still have some swelling around my stomach area, which feels uncomfortable and awkward, but it’s getting better every day. I can do many things without discomfort, like take a shower, wash and style my hair, wash dishes, and get in and out of bed. It feels good to be able to do these things for myself again. It was getting frustrating to need help with everything, because I’m usually really independent. Although I still can’t do many activities until I’m healed, I’m using this time to get used to my new computer for college! Overall though, I’m feeling great: stopped taking pain medication after the third day. Now, all I have to do is just take things slow and make sure I don’t overdo anything! It’s nice to have a nurse in the house and my mom is keeping her eye on me.
Please check back to follow my recovery during the next couple weeks.
