Post-op

So I am almost two weeks post-op. Josh was able to get the money for me and I liked Dr. Karp so we went ahead and I got the surgery February 15th. It has been somewhat difficult. The surgery went great I just can't do anything. I have a 5 lb. weight left limit and can't lift my arms above my head. I can't use my chest muscles to do things either like push myself up. I am very lucky to have my mom here to do basically everything for me. The most annoying part is not sleeping comfortably. I slept in the recliner part of the couch until two nights ago. I am a side sleeper so it has been difficult. I think I slept the best last night. Overall it has gotten better, but I can't wait to feel like me again and can do what I want. It is still weird to look at myself too. Still not used to them. I can't wait till the swelling is all gone and I can go looking for new bras and clothes. But until then it is just a waiting game and doing the exercises I've been given.
