boob job

been homebound for a couple of days now.

yesterday, i had my breast biopsy procedure, and i was advised to stay at home and rest the remainder of the day. today, i just decided i'd stay home so i can ice the surgery area without any hassles. the pain is gone. yesterday, it was painful, but i decided to tough it out. i'm proud to say na i haven't taken any medicines since we found out i'm expecting. =)

the actual procedure lasted for a little over half an hour siguro. i only had local anesthesia, and i think they gave me the minimum dosage. i felt the needle prick me. i felt the gadget pulsating on my boob. all in all, it wasn't that bad. i was even watching the needle pierce through layers of skin and fat and tissue from the ultrasound machine. it was weird. =P

the doctor said they had enough tissue to do the test, but he (yes, lalaki! hubby je couldn't accept the fact na hindi lang sya ang exclusive na nakakita sa boobs ko *lol*) insisted on taking out as much of the lump as possible. then they put a marker, which is a titanium coil thingy, where they took out the tissues.

when i got home, i iced the surgery area continuously for 3 hours. masama pala yon. dapat pala by intervals. hehe! eh it eased the pain eh. nakatulog pa nga ako nung afternoon for a couple of hours eh.

the results will be out in a week. the waiting game begins again. *sigh*

i was amused though, that all throughout the procedure, pistoy was kicking as if reminding me that i am not alone and that he is ok. he would knock every few minutes. good boy, keeping mommy company. =)
