Now that my awful drains are out and I'm showering a ton, I've noticed that I've started getting more and more feeling back in the incisions. I imagined that if I did get any feeling back, it'd be normal, skin and tissue feeling, or whatever I was feeling before surgery. I was WAY wrong; I've been getting these super intense minute-long episodes where it feels like I'm being poked with a needle straight through the nipple (if I had one). It's crazy and totally takes my breath away. Of course I've checked it out and it's called phantom pain. I'll have to figure out how to deal with it because man, I can't be going through that all the time!
We met with Dr. Sanan yesterday and I totally had a breakdown in the examination room. C'mon, you can't ask a gal in my position "how have you been feeling" after the last three weeks I've had. I blame PMS.
