Today was a good day. I have been feeling pretty good since the surgery. I was VERY apprehensive about the surgery this time around. I think anticipating the pain etc. The first time I thought, I am tough I can do this. This time I thought, "(#*(#$&*#$&*#& that really hurt I don't want to do that again". Interestingly enough. This time it wasn't that bad. I was up and about quickly, able to sleep on my sides (even both of them) for short periods of time. The numbness that went away in my right arm and armpit had gone away once we removed the infected expander from the right side. Left side still numb. I was afraid that would come back. It didn't. I still didn't have any numbness, in my armpit and arm. Then I remembered that I felt pretty good the first time around. There was much more pain but that must have had more to do with the mastectomy than the reconstruction part. ????? thats my guess. The first time, the pain was substantial but...

This is the surgery to put the expander back in my right side (not the same one that was infected, a new sterile one). Then we will inflate until it matches the left side. Then we will inflate them both until we get to the size I desire. HUGE!!! Just kidding. Actually my mom took me shopping and I was trying on blouses. I couldn't find the right size because my breasts would pull the buttons. Mom says. Huh, you should keep that in mind for your implants, you don't want to be so big that you buy shirts bigger than your Body "size". very good point I thought. Today I'm thinking, there is always spandex. Lol. After all this, I just want a nice rack. Is that so wrong? Lol. Ok I'm super sleepy. Had two kids, camp out in the backyard, slumber parties this weekend. That's my MO. Keep so busy I can't think or worry. See you soon. I...
