I'm a little over 3 weeks post-op. I'm so miserable. I feel like I'm in a loop. Freezing, roasting, hungry, nauseous. Not all the time, but often, everything tastes bitter. I'm still uncomfortable. Not enough pain for narcotics. When I wake up and sit up my breasts just ache. Today I decided to tighten up the surgical bra since I've left it the way it was in the hospital. I'm not as swollen so it makes sense to snug it up. I also tightened the straps. It seems to have helped.
I've been waking up with raging head splitting headaches. I don't know how, but I'm clenching my jaw during sleep. I'm trying to focus and meditate to stop that.
I've been off work for 5 weeks now. I go back to the surgeon in 2 weeks. My job requires me to have a Physical Capacity form before they let me come back.
