Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Here is my official one week report... Every night I sleep through the night, a sound solid sleep, and for the first time in 10 years I feel rested in the morning. When I wake up, I am able to get right out of bed and move about without problem. Before explant I would have to lie in bed for an hour or so until my hands started to work properly and my mind would unfog. I have greatly diminished overall aches and pains, although I am feeling like I need to move more to get my muscles working again. I am going to go for a short walk today, and I'll continue with Yoga everyday. In spirit I am alive and awakened in a way that I don't remember from previous health. I guess it's because I now have a reason to appreciate it all so much more. I still have the dressings on my breats and am anxious to have them fall off, they are getting very itchy! Once in a while I'll feel the twinge of pain in my breasts from the healing, but that's to be expected with the lift. I would have to say that on a pain scale of 1-10 since waking up from surgery I have been at about a 2. I have not been this pain free in so long that I forgot how it felt. I'm just hoping this all lasts. I have a history of family problems and I am concentrating on believing that I wasn't afflicted with the bad genes, just the bad implants. The mind is a powerful tool and it has helped me create my new found health. I have not had one moment of panic or anxiety since explant, and that was the first symptom I came down with after implanting. It's mazing, but for the first time I do not feel trapped in my body, or trapped in my mindfrom an anxiety of unknown origin! From head to toe I feel wonderful!!!
