I realized I never posted these pictures. (Never dreamt I'd be posting pictures of my boobies on the internet...I don't mind sharing them, as my friends well know. -- hee hee -- Who would have guessed that there could be a non-slimy reason to post pics of your boobs?)
Here's the mastectomy at 2 months - actually, these were two days shy of two months on September 11.
The scars over the nipples have gone down significantly. The lumpectomy scar is really fading.
So, what do they feel like? I kept taking paper or some other object and touching them to see where I have feeling and where I don't. The further out I get from the nipple, the more feeling I have. The feeling is mostly in the outer skin.
(It's odd to see something touching you and realize that you can't feel it.)
I have discomfort at the armpit area and along the sides of the "seams"/incisions. It'll feel like someone's sticking needles in me. I think some would call these "twinges". It's probably severed nerve endings trying to figure out what the heck happened...and probably none too happy about their situation.
I also have some discomfort along the sternum.
None of it is too terrible. Occcasionally, it'll catch me unawares, and I find I'm reaching for my chest because of an "owie.". It's a little like being "goosed."
See!! Don't those seams look good?!
You can really see that the scar around the nipple has gone down...I sometimes think it's the really tight booby harness that has worn down those scars!
It's these little details that I'm always asking other women who have had it done. So, I figured I'd post it here. Hope it helps!
