24 hours post op

Well it's been 24 hours since I came out of surgery and I have to say, I'm feeling pretty good!  Last night I slept in my bed with all 12 of my normal pillows that's I've needed since my mastectomy (I'm exaggerating, but I really do have a lot of pillows!). I woke up once in the middle of the night to pee and I felt very sore and achy in my shoulders and back. It was hard to get out of bed. I had the intention of taking another oxycodone but it was too much effort to go find my pills and get a drink so I just went back to bed and fell right asleep. I got up at a regular time this morning, was able to brush was daughters' hair and help them tie their shoes, and they went to school. All I've taken today is Tylenol and I'm okay with that. My incisions itch like mad though. I want to tear off the surgical glue and scratch and scratch. I know the itching will subside in a few days and that it's a sign of healing. But it's still driving me crazy!  I can't take a shower for another day, which is pretty gross. But I feel really quite normal. Just itchy and sore. But I can live with that!  I anticipate I'll be mostly back to normal within a week. And the more I look at my new boobs, the more I love them!
