I am home from breast reduction surgery. Very sore, but pain pills every 4 hrs are helping. Very loopy, because of pain pills, but like frenchy says, I'm always loopy so how would you know the difference? She's been a good friend, but she makes me chuckle. And today chuckles are very bad as they make my chest shake. Ouch.
The doc removed 2 1/2 lbs of breast tissue, but I can't be...1 Recommendation5 Comments -
I am only two days aways from my gbs. I am anxious, excited, and nervous all at once. I have not had any sleep for several days. While everyone in my house is asleep, I stay up nights contemplating whether this is the right thing for me to do. I have literally driven myself into a frenzy over this. On the one hand, I am excitedly purchasing protein supplements,...1 Recommendation4 Comments
