A little late

This post is a little late, but I've been sleeping tonnes and having trouble prioritizing when I am awake.  My boobs are now dark purple and yellow.  In other words disturbing.  I went for a field trip yesterday to Starbucks and to the bra store. The one bra I owned that I could wear post surgery was really gross covered in blood and other secretions. I was somewhat fitted at the store, just because I wasn't able to take my old bra off and I didn't want to wreck a bra I couldn't use.  I am now approximately an "E" cup, three cup sizes smaller. I had been estimated a C, but this just shows how little I know about bra sizes.
I am freezing all the time, but have no fever.  I never did have to go to urgent care, Gravol  and caffeine saved my head and the pain hasn't been back. The incision in my left armpit are oozing yellow, a lot. I have to change the gauze there every couple of hours. I'm sore now, more sore than I was on Friday or Saturday.  I have to really watch how I move my arms.  One of the worst parts right now is how sore my upper arms are from lack of use.  When I wake up they hurt so bad.  It helps to stretch them but I can't really because it pulls at the stitches.

The trip out yesterday was probably a bad idea, I feel like crap today.  I actually puked for the first time since Friday.  I think part of it is the constipation caused by the T-3's, but I just shouldn't have gone for such a long walk yesterday.

I'm trying to eat healthy and Dean's been really good about making me food. My stomach looks a bit weird right now, because I carry all the weight low down, and my boobs used to hide it a little more.  I'm hoping pooping will help a little. I am also craving sugar like mad, and bought some swedish berries so help curb that craving.

Dean took some photos of the bruising and hopefully will take some more later on, which I will post behind links later if anyone wants to see them.
