I am 6 days out today. Most of my pain is gone, just uncomfortable to sleep at night still and the dealing with what I can and can't have, etc. It doesn't seem real, though. I read these forums now and it still hasn't clicked that I had the procedure done. It's a really weird state of mind. It actually creeps me out a little bit that I had it done even though I have been researching it for 20 months. Maybe that is it? I spent so much time researching it that my mind is still stuck in that phase? Sound familiar to anyone??

Maybe your user name "Sleeveless in Seattle" is confusing you?? haha!

It is a strange set of sensations, I always feel weirdo after general anethesia too. I like to say I didn't feel fully human until about 2-3 months post op. I can't actually describe what I mean by those words, but it is how I felt.
