9. First impressions

With the compression tape removed I take a closer look at my breast. There is still a see- through waterproof dressing over the steristrips on the nipple and a dressing over the short incision where the lymph node was removed. I'm impressed the majority of my skin on my breast is almost undamaged excepting where my nipple was and the small scars from the biopsies. I'm pleased that the dressing is still there - I'm not ready to look at it yet. I have some sensation on the surface of my skin but not underneath - it's quite strange. 
The breast is pretty much the same size as the other one but with a weird protruding angle on the outer edge where the unfilled section of the temporary implant is lying. The sides of the Evil Chunky Bra makes this sticking out bit hurt but my profile in clothes is not noticeably changed. This boosts my confidence immensely.
