Another opinion.....

Today I had an appt with another plastic surgeon. He was very nice and really took a great deal of time to give me his opinion. Unfortunately, his opinion on how to improve these foobs is very different than the other two surgeons. It’s pretty complicated and I don’t have the energy to bore you with all the specifics. Bottom line is I like all 3 surgeons…they have 3 very different opinions on how to do the revision so the ball is in my court. I will see my original plastic surgeon next week so I am anxious to hear her opinion when I ask her about my revision options.

I hate to jinx myself but I think some of my symptoms are starting to get a little better. I have not had any cramping at all and the spotting is now very light. Not sleeping was about to drive me completely insane….I have to have my sleep and when I don’t I know I am not much fun to be around. I think I went over a week with just a couple hours of sleep each night and I was waking up several times which is something I have never done. This past Friday night I went to sleep around 12:30 and was shocked when I woke up and it was after 9:00!!! I am still having a very hard time getting to sleep but at least I am getting 4 hours which is no where near the 9 that I require and love but I am at least functioning again. The only thing that is getting worse is the pain in my left wrist. It’s very sore first thing in the morning and I catch myself trying not to use it more and more during the day. I am still saying as long as it doesn’t get any worse I can tolerate it….only 4 more years of this medication…..piece of cake, right?!

Other than that we are all fine. Tyler is down in Florida with a friend for the week….this is the first time he has gone on a trip with a friend and their family. He is having a great time but I miss him..We had a good weekend even though the weather was so crummy. We went to two different cook-outs and Bret took Jillian and her friend Kayleigh to King’s Island Saturday morning. We didn’t get to have our regular Sunday night pool party and I was just lost….I love our Sunday nights at the pool so hopefully more people will be in town this coming weekend and the weather will cooperate!

Please say a prayer for JD and his family. He had a horrible day yesterday when he went to do another round of chemo. They decided to admit him into the hospital again because he was having so much pain in his head. They were meeting with more doctors today to try to figure out what is going on but last I heard he is still not feeling good. I just pray that they can find some answers and get him back to feeling ok. This is so very hard on all of them and the only thing I can do to help them from here is ask for prayers…….

I would also ask for prayers for my friend Carl. He was my mentor when I first started at LSI. He had to have the lower half of his leg amputated last week due to an infection. His recovery is going fine but this will be such a huge adjustment for him physically and emotionally.

Without him, I am nothing,
But with Him I can do all things through
Christ that strengthens me."
(Phil 4:13)
