20 days post op; my update

[Guest guest]

OK, girls, when does the fluff begin?! I'm so impatient. My breasts

look like little deflated balloons. And, I suppose they are. Thank

God the implants are out. The nipples are still a bit concave, and

the incision lines are raised. The nerve, little sharp pains that

were with me the first 2 weeks or so have subsided. There are

deeper, achey pains on the pectoralis muscles where the stitches and

cauterization were done. I can feel that. I'm just increasing my

activity slowly, and my muscles are telling me they've been through

it, and so I'm increasing activities slowly. I really look forward

to daily exercise, but I'm taking it easy. The left breast was

swollen more after surgery, and is almost the size of the right

breast again. I am the same size that I was before implants! Thank

God for these wonderful explant surgeons...My energy level is WAY up

there!!! I just want to jump and run, but I'm walking slowly and

allowing my spirit to soar at this time. I'm asking for help with

heavy things. MY SKIN is becoming softer, and the mean red itchies

that were all over my chest and upper back are going going gone. My

husband says he just can't believe how much better my skin is. My

knuckles and joints are no longer swollen. My rings fit without

forcing them on. My vision is clear, no kidding! My mind is happy,

happy; the depression is almost non-existent and I'm feeling my

emotions. I don't usually cry at TV programs, but last night I just

teared up and let them roll down my cheeks.

Girls, I'm ALIVE again....thank you for supporting me and educating

me on the harmful effects of those implants. I'm ME again, and look

out world, I'm back..........Jackie
