4 weeks post-op

[Guest guest]

It's been 4 weeks today and I am still feeling about 70-80% better

overall. I have twinges of pains or fatigue, but nothing that stops

me frm functioning. I'm finding that detox dieting is too difficult

right now because I am SOOOO hungry! I'm actually very physically

active for the first time in many yars. I've been able to dance, do

yoga/pilates, and massive amount of sit-ups daily. I think because I

am working so hard that I am feeling hungrier than usual. I'm

finishing up the fungal defense, but I need to get back to eating

better. Being flat broke has a lot to do with poor eatting also.

I took my girls to see Charlie and The Chocolate Factory last

Friday. I have avoided movie theatres for many years because my

knees would cramp terribly and I ended up miserable each time. But

not this time! I didn't have a single twinge of joint pain! YAY!!

The headaches are mostly gone now, and the only real aching I feel

is in my back and neck from all of the exercise I am doing. My brain

fog seems to be about 70% better, I still have moments. I catch

myself stuttering once in a while, but not nearly as often. Most of

the terrible and debilitating symptoms are just plain gone!

All of my friends have commented on the sparkle in my eyes and the

sound of my voice. I have one friend who lives 2500 miles away who

has cried several times while talking to me on the phone because I

sound like a different person. She is overwhelmed by the energy I

have now. My kids have noticed it too. I am still careful about

picking them up for hugs, but they do notice that I am more awake

and doing a lot more. In fact I am trying to find things to do with

them. For so long I wasn't able to take them places. Now I am

wracking my brain to think of where to go that doesn't cost

anything. We are actually going on a camping and canoe trip this

weekend with a big group of friends that all have kids. I am really

looking forward to it!

My breasts a re still a little deflated. that could also be from not

wearing the tight bras. I just can't wear anything constricting. I

am getting back sensation that was lost 11 years ago upon implant.

My nipples are painful, especially in the shower, but that means

I'll have some feeling in them again. I had patches of numbness

across my breasts that have almost all disappeared. There is only a

small area that still feels nothing. I think they look great, and my

husband is absolutely nuts about them! He surprised me because he

was very much a fan of my large breasts. Although he never enjoyed

feeling the implants. Now he is an even bigger fan of my small but

natural breasts. He can't stop touching me. : ) And I actually

respond now, where before there was no libido of any kind. It feels

wonderful to experience being horny again! LOL
