#biocorneum

Today I was able to exercise and get my blood flowing. Not to burn calories, but to start getting active again since it’s way too hot to go on a walk outside I am no where near the stamina I was at - 5 miles a day. I tapped out at 40 minutes, 3mph at 2 miles. I didn’t realize how having these implants would impact me physically - towards the end it felt like I could breathe which I initially felt when I couldn’t sleep very early on post op because I felt like I was being smothered/had a weight on my chest but I know I’ll get there and also be able to work on my abs and arms again. I’m just thankful I am able to walk the 2 miles a day, that I’m able to clean (except vacuum). On to the next - Biocorneum. I was skeptical at first. I felt horrible spending $105 on it but my plastic surgeon highly recommended that I use it. I’ve only been using it for 4 days and I’ve already noticed a difference in my scarring - they’re way less raised than they were! I’m just hoping this tube lasts me awhile (a little does go a long way!) because that’s a steep price to pay for scar treatment. Also, I’m self inflicted confined to my sports bra 24/7 again out of fear that my foobs will drop if I don’t wear a bra all of the time Maybe if I had somewhere special to go I’d give it up for a few hours but I’ve been through too much to need another surgery or mess anything up - which is why I’m also following my PS’s recommendation high protein diet. My cording in my right breast where my lymph nodes were taken has been absolutely hell the past 2 days but I see my breast surgeon next Friday so I’m hoping to start physical therapy! I’m feeling the positivity lately and I am so thankful #mastectomy #breastcancer #breastcancersurvivor #fitness #cardio #fitnessjourney #biocorneum #scars #edwarrior #edrecovery #adultswitheds #ednos #bopo #bodypositivity #loveyourself #positivevibes
