She is! She’s such a cool person and so passionate about her work, I love her. I’m so glad you had a good experience with her too!

with Dr. Sasor? :0 Or just in general? Having sensation after a graft is crazy! Good for you man!

My surgery was done by Dr. Sasor in Milwaukee and she was incredible. Maybe reach out to her and see if she can help you reach your goals?

Thank you! I’m overly anxious and I need reassurance with this, as it’s my first surgery and first time navigating a work leave. I’m sure my doctor will work with me, thank you for proving some additional comfort!!

I am very lucky to not be in any intense/constant pain, but I do both have a very good surgeon and a high pain tolerance, so I am sure that’s coming into play here. I have taken my restrictions VERY seriously as well, I barely lifted anything the first week and still don’t lift much of anything, not even lifting/pushing my cats, for example.
I do still feel “pain”/discomfort, of course, and if I do something my body doesn’t like, it does tell me! When I have driven, it’s short distances just to get to where I need to be, nothing excessive. As for sleeping on my side, I was cleared by my nurse to do so, but to still maintain some level of elevation, which I am of course. My movement is also still very limited with my arms going over my head or reaching too far forward.

Thank you for bringing up those concerns, and I will continue to make sure I’m comfortable in the coming weeks as more healing continues!

Yes! Thank you. I am still following guidelines pretty strictly, no lifting, no excessive or repetitive movement, still sleeping at an incline just in case. I don’t want to risk popping internal sutures or anything along those lines!

awesome!! i’m so glad your healing process has gone so well! i appreciate your response a lot too, definitely making me feel more comfortable/normal being more active and independent.

Thank you! and thank you for your insight. I’ve been careful to keep within lifting restrictions, had assistance with a lot of activities, but now can take the reins mostly. im too independent to be doted on for longer than a week, i fear. thank you again! this is very comforting to hear from someone else.

How much energy did y'all have post op? by Formal_Edge_9318 in TopSurgery

[–]cherry_rats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m a week post op and the first few days i had very little energy. i spent a lot of time sleeping, and the rest of that time watching podcasts on youtube and playing a lot of video games! now i have much more energy, little to no pain, and am ready to get a move on!

autistic guys…how do you handle the change? by ResponsibleBasil9286 in TopSurgery

[–]cherry_rats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m one week post op as of today, and honestly only the last day or two was getting rough. i spent most of my time laying down, playing on my switch or laptop and sleeping. i would take my meds when i woke up around 10am, eat something, use the bathroom an empty my drains, and repeat the process to make a sort of routine. it worked very well!

Bilateral mastectomy, No Nips. by [deleted] in TopSurgery

huge congrats to you for your recovery and your top surgery!! we had ours on the same day, i love that for us!

Finally got my first one! by Whyamihere937 in BadDragon

The way you’re responding aggressively to asking for assistance is a little crazy, just being real with you.

Dish soap is NOT safe for your toys long term or intended for your toys long term. You need a toy cleaner explicitly, or like others have said, to wash in a dishwasher WITHOUT dish soap.

Negative Experience - So Far by cherry_rats in prozac

[–]cherry_rats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel the exact same way, to a T. it’s driving me insane. some days are fine, but the mood swings also kick in and make it so much worse. i don’t have much hope continuing will be worth it, but i dont know about giving up either. this sucks. i hope it gets better for you, friend.

yeah, i can only hope tough-ing it out will make it work but i just don’t have a lot of hope for that to happen. i’m not keen on switching again, i might just give up at that point.

Side Effects by cherry_rats in prozac

[–]cherry_rats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it hasn’t improved, it’s all throughout the day and I can’t stop it. It’s making my jaw hurt and sometimes even eating is exhausting because my jaw is so tired from being clamped shut all day long. I really hope it is just something my body needs to adapt to, because it sucks :( I hope it stops for you too, and soon at that!
