SURGERY UPDATE #7
It’s been awhile. 13 weeks post surgery and recovery is DEFINITELY still a thing.
I still haven’t made it for a walk around the lake which is normally a 40-45 min walk for me.
I still can’t lift things.
My boobs still have rocks in them and are still quite sore but the rocks are getting smaller every day and my whole team is impressed with the speed of the healing. That said… I am finally able to lay on my stomach if I am on a soft surface, like my bed. BIG WIN!
My back and sides are still sore and stiff but getting better each day. My ribs and diaphragm where my boobs used to lay so heavily and where there is now all kinds of internal scarring are so bound up, I struggle to take a deep breath.
My muscles are getting weaker and weaker as I don’t use them. OMG I have lost so much strength. Hitting the gym again eventually is going to be interesting.
I tried using these silicone gel pads given to me by my gorgeous lymphatic post-surgery specialist. Stephanie Quinn Ebert to help with scar healing and it opened up the hole spots again. The skin was too thin. So now we are back to healing those.
I have strapping tape literally lifting my boobs and strapped criss-crossed on my back to pull my shoulders back right now as we do what we can to support me as my posture shifts. It’s itchy but feels SO GOOD. OMG the thought of being able to stand up straight again is amazing. I feel taller already.
I’m getting ultrasound on my breasts to help breakdown the scar tissue and something called Endermologie done with Stephanie.
It has a 400% increase of blood and lymph flow. It feels AMAZING. I feel energised and ALIVE when I leave. It’s definitely helping support the healing process and she keeps telling me… I’m morphing into the smaller version of myself. And I agree. 😉
And with this… I think about the mental and physical game of the recovery. The stuff I’m doing to support it.
I am taking high vibe supplements, drinking my keto (of course), drinking Keto Kreme tea (Putting good fat into my tea), drinking a green drink to get high vibe vitamins and minerals into me to replenish my body.
All of that… with a super HIGH VIBE water… I am Loving my Kangen water filter through this process. I love how my cells feel as they uptake all of this and absorb it into my cells so efficiently. I can feel that.
I am finally getting back into my daily rituals. Journaling, meditation, pulling my tarot cards, self-pleasure, drumming, writing for you, slowly in whatever way i can… bringing movement into my day …which is sometimes doing the shopping. 🙁 Many days… That’s enough for my body… just getting through the daily movement.
I am getting back into caring for my home and so it has had a MASSIVE de-clutter and organising over the last 5 weeks with my gorgeous mother-in-law, @sue here to do her organising of spaces thing while I went through and threw stuff out.
Which is meaning a cleaner house without ‘stuff’ everywhere… IT FEELS GOOD.
*** HINT: DECLUTTERING YOUR HOME will directly help you declutter your mind and energy field. And you need to do that to show up in life and be your next level best version of yourself. CLEAR THE SPACE for you to up level. LITERALLY! ***
I finally got on the table with the magical hands of Hugh Norley. I need to see him weekly, but you know… living with the therapist doesn’t always mean you get weekly treatments. ;-(
He is going to be helping me re-structure my body, for sure.
I have had headaches come back full force with my body being so out of whack posturally and not moving as much as my body would like to be doing moving in a healthy, fit body. These are definitely not happening as much since strapping my shoulders and chest back. YEAH!
I have had to get new clothes as much of my clothes simply didn’t fit at all. WAY too big.
I have been through trying a handful of bras and think I finally found ones that are soft enough not to hurt all the scarring under my boobs and supportive enough to keep my boobs from jiggling a lot. #breastreductionproblems LOL
I CAN HUG AGAIN. OMG… it feels good. Not only cause i get to hug… but because I get so much closer to people without so much boob in the way. And that is awesome!
I am dancing again. Slowly.. not as much movement as I would in a completely healed body but it feels SOOO GOOD.
I am cooking and doing the dishes again. (that may not be soo good. LOL)
I am energised, feeling alive again and excited to hit some big goals this year.
I am receiving new messages and downloads and upgrades daily again. YES!
I think that pretty much sums it up. Where I am at now.
Some of this may seem like a whinge. It’s not. It is what it is and life moves on and I surrender into what it is and work with my body, mind and energy field to get better and better each day.
I honestly had no idea that the recovery would be SO INTENSE and take SO LONG.
AND… at the end of the day… I’m so grateful for this journey.
I have learned so much about myself and others… and it has definitely been a massive part of my stepping into the next level version of me. There has been big transformation in my soul over the past few months.
And for that… I am infinitely grateful.
BTW- The one thing I didn’t talk about in here is the mental game of the recovery.
I will write another post and put it up tomorrow about that. it’s been a WILD ride on that game. Tune in for that.
