Peeling Boobs and Arms

Surprise, surprise, I feel like I'm recovering from a sunburn. It's the oddest thing. Thirteen days post-op and though I'm not red, I'm itching and the skin on my chest and arms is beginning to peel as if I laid out in the sun a little too long (which for me is more than 20 minutes). Hm. From my reading, I understand that this is common. I'm wondering if it is exposure to the operating room lights or one of the medications they've given me. I'm glad to know it's normal.

I even briefly had a competition with my sister like we did when we were kids. Whoever had the sunburn would be "peeled." Each of us would try to peel a larger sheet of skin than the other. It really was a fine art! LOL I'm happy to report that I won this round. After all, they were my boobs! LOL
