love is health
After the exchange surgery9/20/2013 Everything went really well yesterday during the exchange surgery. The whole process took less than 2 hours, and I was back at home that night. They had to take some fat from my tummy to fill in some indentations on my chest that developed post-mastectomy. <-- I wish I could say that's what I look like right now, but the truth is, I don't know. I am back in the suicide bomber vest (this time without grenades), and in a tummy girdle - burritoed for 4-5 days. Feeling sexy. I am also back to no cardio for 4-6 weeks, and no lifting anything over 5 lbs. What am I going to do with myself? Lots of visualization, I guess. On the flip side, I am glad the turtle shell is gone. What is the turtle shell, you ask? It's the tissue expander/ temporary implant under my chest muscle for the last 5 weeks that was hard as a rock and uncomfortable as all heck. I now have something a little softer, a bit smoother, and more like the real deal. That's progress. I just wanted to pass along that I am doing well, and focused on healing as quickly and efficiently as possible. Thanks for the love and support. You all know how to make a lady feel good :)
