G'day from Down Under

Thanks for the congrats Angela.

Reactions are so unpredictable and in this case sudden.  I have things I already know I am sensitive to, but none of those things seemed to be the culprit. I am sure I will feel alot better once the immunologist works it all out properly.

Em, I'm so glad to hear that you made it girlee!  And compared to your last surgery, this surgery WAS uneventful.  What's a little code blue when the girls are sitting high and proud like an eighteen year olds?  I can't wait to see them.  The pics you took after your LBL with those sassy poses were so cute, I can't wait to see what you do for the new tatas pics!

That tightness in your breasts is because of the swelling and the pocket for the implants being created, it doesn't last long.  And the arms get looser as the days go by.  Try keeping them elevated when you rest.  But not out, close to the new girls.  The main focus is not to lift anything or reach high so you don't put pressure on those incisions.  That way your scars will stay thin and fade to thin white lines.  The swelling in the upper body doesn't last as long as the lower body work you had, so it won't be long before you are out sporting your new sleeveless dresses.

All of my surgeries were uneventful except for the swelling.  But the way I swell, it was a "Swelling Event"!  I started having lymphatic massages and it has helped tremendously.  Once you get clearance, I recommend a Swedish massage.  That's the bomb to help with getting your fluids flowing again and helps get the anesthesia out of your system. 

Happy Healing,

I keep thinking I must take some photos.... the bruising is technicolor. 

Dr A has done an excellent job... the rotter did do a little lipo on my elbow upper part of my lower arm - man lipo hurts!

I told my family that hotel Mummy has permanently closed for business. That is: mummy is not doing it all anymore. We have had several frayed temper moments from me and I imagine things will take a while to sink in. Oh well, was a good time to start it- since I literally can't do a thing even if I want to give in and be hotel mummy again (which I don't want to).

At the moment the heaviest thing I am lifting is a cup of tea- even that feels heavy sometimes.

Will email you photos when I take them.

Emmer, it is simply grand to see you post. I've been wondering how you are doing. I am so glad you were still at the hospital when you had that reaction - very scary.

I know Donna's boob job was way more painful.  Gads, the pics she posted when they were so swollen made my nips about invert.

feminine but not tarty - LOL, that will give me a chuckle for a couple hours!

Happy Holidays to you!

Sorry I have been so quiet these last few months.  Lots of stuff going on at home which has resulted in me withdrawing from life a little more than is ideal.

Love your new picture- you look awesome.

Have a great Christmas,

Em

I am glad that you are re-aligning your family to pitch in more...darn them all anyway.  There will be a backlash, but in the future, they will thank you for this.

Neece, don't even get me started on Donna's socalled plastic surgeon!  She knows I thought he was a quack.  But her boobs are looking pretty damned good these days, so feel better.
