I finally did it
:)
I live in Preston so not far from Manchester Lifestyle, got up at 6am. Just enough time to get dressed and get there without panicing..
I was very chilled out considering haha..
My admission time was 7.30, filled out some forms at reception and went down to my room. The porter came in and i picked my food, a couple of nurses came in to ask questions, fill more forms, take blood pressure etc.. I was told i was 4th on the list
so i would be going down untill about half 11, grrr!!
Mr Traynor came in, had a final chat about implant sizes ( we both agreed on 380cc, instead of 340cc) i put my gown on and got my drawings then he had a little chat, joking how he was way more nervous than i was
and that he would see me soon..
At bang on half 11 a nurse came in to tell me they was ready for and time to go..
I wasnt to nervous untill i had to go down to theatre then i paniced badly, mostly about the canula going in my hand..
The aneathetist and his nurse that was putting me asleep were great, the nurse check me over and stuck all the wires etc on whilst chatting away the whole time, asking me so many question i couldnt really think about the op.. When the aneathetist came in he was also very nice, chatting away, telling me silly jokes.. I can honestly say he told me to cough very hard (i had no idea why) and when i coughed he put the needle in, i didnt feel a thing. All i remember then was the nurse holding my hand and stroking my head (she was soo kind, i was terrified when i went down) and giggling at the aneathetists silly jokes then i was all blurry eyed with new boobs and the nurse telling me to close my eyes i would be back in my room soon, which i did and woke up in my room..
I was very spaced out, wasnt any pain just tightness (which i thought was great), remember Mr Traynor coming in and poking my new boobs about..
Unfortunatly my body didnt like its first aneasthetic at all, i couldnt pee however hard i tried.. Everytime i stood up i went MEGA dizzy and was sick and immediatly had to lie down, this went on all day at every attempt to eat or try to get out of bed
i had anti-sickness injection but made no diference... Eventually i managed to go the toilet and get dressed without going funny, the pain was horrible by his time ( way worse than imagined, for some reason i never thought about the pain) around half 9pm i was allowed to go. I started walking out very spaced out and dizzy, i made it to the lift before being sick yet again then got taken back to my room and told if i tried again and didnt make it the doctor would be called and i would have to stay overnight..
I sat in my chair for half an hour ish before trying again, determined i would make it as just wanted my own bed and to be left alone to sleep
This time i made it, dont remember the journey home much.. Think i slept on and off, after been loaded in with my v-pillow, towels and a sick bowl.. I do remeber how painful it was and every time a little bump felt like a mountain
When i got home i felt miles better almost instantly, ate some toast and jam, took all my painkillers and curled up in my own bed on the nest of pillows..
The day after was quite painful too, much wores than imagined. Kept on top of the tablets and tried not to sleep as wanted to sleep proper at night..
Everyday the pain is loads better, more sore and stiff today
back isnt enjoying sleeping upright...
Very bloated too..
Sorry for the massive essay
i had a eventful day lols...
Apart for the reaction to aneasthetic, my day was a great experience.. All the staff at Manchester Lifestyle were great, Mr Traynor is amazing and i love my new boobies
:D
Good Luck
and dont be nervous..!
Il will send pics when not as stiff...
