Update

Just a quick FYI....I am doing much, much better. The past 2 days have been very good for me, and all of a sudden I am not as swollen and feeling much better physically and the pain has really cut way down. Today is 3 weeks, and seems like that was the magic number. Someone had told me that between 2 and 3 weeks, pain returns with a vengence, then will leave again. The surgeon also told me that after 3 weeks, the swelling would go down. Seems he knows what he is talking about. My skin is really smooth now and looks tons different than it did just 2 days ago and my scar is much, much better in just 2 days. Thank God it seems I might actually survive this!!! LOL Thanks everyone! Not sure I can do this again, LOL I will though Deb Love you all for your support and kind words and encouragement!

So glad to hear you are doing better! You know they say no pain, no gain...well you should have LOTS of gain from this one girl! Take care and continue to keep us posted. Susann

I am so glad that things are better. Please send me some of that good fortune. I just went and had my drains taken out. Scar tissue had grown all around them, so I thought that I would pass out from the pain. I am so discouraged and so tired of hurting all of the time. I am now in no hurry for my breast reduction. I am at work, very whiny, and just had to take two percoset. Thanks for listening as I vent Mary

You go girl, prayer works doesn't it? So glad to hear you are feeling better. Let's continue to pray that you feel better each day. Tomorrow is my big day. Say a prayer for me too ok? Robin
