Post-Op Day 3

If you're paying close attention, you may notice post-op days 1 and 2 are missing. You and me both, sister. 'Cause I think they both slipped by me pretty quickly. Time flies when you're still under the influence of anesthesia. But! Friday's procedure came and went with little-to-no excitement. Well, unless you include continuing to beat my personal record for getting kicked out of discharged from the hospital: 6 hours flat this time. 

Pre-op and post-Sharpee. A matching set of "yes" on each clavicle.

Post-op. Clearly still feeling the love of pain meds.

Two days post-ops... goodbye nubbin!

Not pictured above: A fresh, new incision underneath the good twin. There was some asymmetry that hadn't evened out from the exchange surgery in March, so Dr. M re-opened the old scar and swapped out that implant for one that will match the other. Also not pictured here (because this just isn't that kind of blog) the newly constructed nip on the evil twin. The big unveiling won't be until my follow up with Dr. M on Wednesday. Until then it's still "dressed". Complete with plastic splint. You read that right. My new nipple needs a splint. (I guess this is *that* kind of blog.) If you're curious how one creates a nipple where one didn't use to be (or rather, where one *did* use to be but then had to be removed), click HERE. But seriously, it's so not pretty. 

Ahh....now, if I could finally get around to posting all those completely non-surgery related photos from the Fourth. Hope you all had a great holiday!
