I'm still not enjoying life with expanders but I am getting used to it. SO of course they expanded them a little more. Muscle relaxants are my friends, now more than ever. Especially at night. Breast expander pre-op (courtesy of allergen).
But I only have one more expansion left and then will most likely have diep/siep flap reconstruction in the spring.
I went back to work this week. It was rather eye opening. Clearly napping and watching netflix the last 6 weeks has done a number on my stamina. I was one hurting pup coming home that evening. The next day was better. I have to keep remembering this whole process is a marathon...not a sprint.
So for now I'm going to enjoy sunny 60 degree Dallas, and rest up for my next surgery.
Well I guess there's also work....3 older kids....but that's just regular life.
OH and one other item of good news I was accepted to present on BRCA including my story this summer at the National Convention of the Association of Woman's Health, Obstetrical and Neonatal Nursing (AWHONN) - my favorite professional organization.
So I have a little work to do on that project as well. Honored and excited to be accepted to do so.
