3 Months Post-op

Well....my 3 month boobiversary was on the 17th and I've been meaning to write since then.  Life just never slows down!

The main thing I have to report is that I don't have to sleep with a bra on anymore!  Most of the soreness is gone.  I had another stitch work its way to the surface over the last month and that is all healed now.  I sure hope that's the end of that!

I used up all the lavender oil I had, so I've started using Bio Oil.  I'm skeptical that anything headlining mineral oil will be that beneficial, but I read some glowing reviews and decided to give it a try.  The amount of perfume in the stuff is enough to give me a migraine (I'm very sensitive to strong odors) so I decided to combine it with jojoba oil.  So far, I like this combination better than lotion.  It soaks into my skin and doesn't feel greasy.  The lotion made me feel too damp and was irritating along the elastic band of my sports bra.

I'm still wearing sports bras...basically because I just haven't had time or energy to shop for "real" bras.  I tried on a few but realized I'll need to make a special trip (alone) when I have enough time to devote to trying on a lot of different options.

One of the things that people have told me is that patients have fewer migraines after surgery.  Unfortunately, that is not the case for me.   On the bright side, I am more comfortable while I do have migraines.  The straps from my old bras and the extra breast weight just added that much grief to my already painful episodes.
I just went to the chiropractor for the first time since surgery and I've started exercising again...so maybe my migraine situation will change.
