1+ week post plastics update:
My flight home made swelling skyrocket π³π
. Luckily I was forewarned this would be an issueβ€
My legs (thighs) were so puffy for the last 2 days that they rubbed again. So I slept with my legs extremely elevated and took a diuretic and it helped A LOT. I was 164 lbs yesterday and now 156 lbs this morning. Yeah.
I cannot find a lymphatic massage therapist in my immediate area so I am going to do it myself with includes me buying the machine from Amazon π.
I actually could tell the difference in my swelling, posture and stiffness before and after the massage so I need to do these.
I'm super glad I had 3 sessions (really 2: 1 regular and 1 extended) and asked a ton of questions. Also the therapist showed me how everything worked and explained the process thoroughly.
I'm still wearing the compression socks along withq abdominal binder all day & night. I am only taking a few breaks between to readjust but sadly I'm far too swollen to even attempt the Faja yet (and I did attempt it π)
All of my pain is still in the abdominal area. Nothing, absolutely nothing from my breast. But can feel sensation on the left more than the right breast (but both nipples seem to be working still β€)
I can go with no pain meds or just Tylenol during the day and sometimes, something stronger at night.
Doing pretty well π
