We saw Dr. K. this morning. She pulled my drains - "OUCH" and I lost my "balls" for good...thank God...I feel so free again!!! She said everything is healing well but we won't be pumping me up any time soon...I guess we have to wait a couple weeks and let the incisions heal up. That bums me out...I hate being flat as a pancake..
After my appt. we needed to pick up some bandages and stuff so I picked up a big sheet of foam and will see if I can make me some little ta-ta's to hold me over until we can start doing fills.
I am feeling good. Just really tired. The pain is still very tolerable. I don't have any constant pain...just sharp, shooting pains every once in a while. I finally took a good look at everything last night....it is pretty horrible to look at but I still do not regret my decision...I know this was the right thing to do but no matter how many pictures I looked at before surgery I still wasn't quite prepared for how bad this surgery really makes you look. It's just so sad that women have to go thru this...hopefully there will be a cure someday...
I am looking forward to Kay and her family coming down for a visit this weekend but not looking forward to them taking Mom home with them...it's been nice to pal around with her...we will all miss her.
Have a good weekend - Jan

Ready or not here we come! We can have a craft night and make ta-tas! I'm sure Bret and Dean would love that :) So glad the tubes are out and now you just have to be patient. I know you'll miss mom, sounds like she has been a great help! See ya soon!
Love, Kay
As one who has been flat as a pancake her whole entire life I'd just like to say... Put me down for 2 sets of foam ta-tas! You could have a great business idea there. Ta-tas R Us.
Don't worry so much about how your body looks. Think of it this way, your body is a car and you (the real essence of you) are the driver. How many of us are driving around sleek sporty roadsters? Most people have a few dings and dents. It still gets us where we need to go.
Have a wonderful visit with Kay and family!
