I had my BR surgery less then a week ago and am just feeling down and blue. I'm not sure why because I truly wanted the surgery and in the short time it has been I can already feel a difference in the weight being lifted off my chest.  I've been given 30 days leave from my job to recover and before the surgery I was SO excited about it. It's day 5 and I'm already getting restless. I'm in the military and used to a high tempo/ faced paced lifestyle so I'm having trouble adjusting. I'm really looking forward to my recovery because I want to continue to challenge my body in new ways and become all around healthy.  In June I completed my first Tuff Mudder and the accomplishment was overshadowed by the severe chaffing I sustained and I had 3 sports bras on! Also, my breasts are itching like CRAZY! Any advice or support anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the rambling...could be the meds.
