Just another bad hair day....

Have to start off with this...Bret looks at me this morning and asks me if I want help with my hair....ok, I was having a bad hair day but how bad is it when a guy that barely has any hair thinks you are having a bad hair day. Needless to say I took care of it myself...did you know you can fix your hair only moving your forearms. I am frustrated daily by how hard it is to accomplish the most basic tasks in life AND not use my arms...UGH!!!!!!

We went to the surgeon today and of course I was thrilled to pitch that stupid surgical bra in the trash. She was pleased with how things look. They are definetely closer together and higher. She was able to remove some skin from the bottom of each side. Honestly, I think bottom of my new foobs are going to look fabulous...too bad no one ever sees that side!! The scarred, dented area in the middle is better...I would be content if they would stay like this. I asked her if there was swelling and she did not think there was much if any. I asked this because after the last surgery I thought the center looked much better until the swelling went down....now we just have to wait and see. The other thing that is really bizarre is that my right foob gurgles....I have had a lot of odd things happen to my body on this journey but this one is odd.....I worried that there was a big air pocket in there but she said there is still some fluid that the body will absorb and I am hearing that fluid moving with the implant when I move.

I was wiped out when we got home....took a little nap and then took a long hot shower....my first "real one" since last Wednesday morning.....it felt wonderful!

The plan right now is to wear an underwire bra 24 hours a day....I go back to the surgeon in 2 weeks. Sticking an underwire into these incisions really sucks..enough said.

Thanks for checking in!

I'm so glad you are happier with the way they look. We just all have to take your word on it because I doubt many of us will be seeing them!
Love you!
