@shirls45 You are so right on the number of breast pics. We actually took weekly photos at home, just because I wanted to be able to accurately say what had been happening if/when something changed that was a real problem. It was helpful to remind myself that I wasn’t crazy - that the breast had been red that long, big that long, sutures a bit thick in a few areas.
I just started PT to work on breaking up some of the internal scars. I should have done it sooner, it hurt a fair bit, but was also soothing at the end of the session. I had to request a PT prescription. They had mentioned doing light self massage before - but it’s really different to have a skilled person do it.

Thanks I really need to learn to do it right instead of kneading it like bread dough!
