Just wanted to let you all know that the drains came out! I will be able to shower in 36-48 hours! You will not have to smell me any longer, New Jersey!!! (Or New York or Connecticut!)
I have to say, I am totally shocked that when I went in to have the drains taken out and to see my plastic surgeon this morning, he didn't even TOUCH me. He barely looked at my scars, just said everything looked good, told me that I shouldn't do anything "high impact" for the next five weeks and he'll see me in two to three months.
As much as I wanted more information about my next steps, I don't think you can get much better than "everything looks good, see you in two months". Less is more with this guy, I know that about him. He is not known for his bedside manner. In a previous blog, I referred to him as "the troll" because he is short and grumpy and has a bad bedside manor, but I have to say, everyone I spoke with about him said he was so wonderful and did great work. My boobs look good. That's really all that matters now. Maybe one of these days I'll get him to smile. Now that's a good goal for the next visit!!!
