I will be having my tissue expanders out and silicone implants put in tomorrow around 10:20am EST.

Keep me and Jake in your thoughts and prayers.

It is just as hard this time as it was in February--Mind is going crazy.

I will let you all know how I did on either Wednesday or Thursday.

Hugs to all.

That's about the time I'll be leaving for work, so I will send additional prayers up to you again then.

Hope all goes well, and we look forward to hearing how your'e doing once you feel up to letting us know.

Take care,

This is a good thing!

Surely this must have a realm of excitement to it? I didn't have immediate reconstruction and when I go for that, I'm hoping that there will be some sort of thrill to go along with some of the anxious feelings. You are strong and have come so far! My prayers are with you and sending lots of positive energy your way. Looking forward to your post that all went extremely well!

Hugs ~ Mar

Well Said!

Marlene said it beautifully. As apprehensive as you must feel, you must be excited to be entering a new phase - one step closer to being finished. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow morning and also look forward to reading how well it went for you.

In my thoughts

You most certainly will be in my thoughts as you have your surgery. Just don't push yourself to do things too soon. Let little Jake wait on you and help you out so you'll be healed up and feeling good for the holidays.

Take it easy!

hugs.

Dr.'s orders

Post operative instructions:
No heavy lifting (greater than 5lbs) or rigorous activity for 6 weeks.

I can't lift a gallon of milk.

Rigorous activity---it has been so long--what is that---Maybe some day soon or in 6 weeks rigorous activity will come my way---is it like they say--you never forget.

LOL--Nerves have me a little silly right now.

Hugs,
Margo

Prayers for You and Jake

You and Jake are always in my prayers, Margo, and you will be especially so tonight and tomorrow morning.

But...isn't keeping up with your little guy a rigorous activity? Don't tell me he has already learned to sit still for long periods; it's unnatural!

Hopefully your sound asleep right now!

Just wanted to say I will be thinking of you tomorrow. Take it easy (I should listen to my own advice!) and do what the docs say. We are only a click away and will wait patiently until you feel up to a progress report. Beware though, we usually send the scouts out after 72 hours!! We need at least an "ugh"!!

thinking of you

You should do great~ and you should bounce back faster than you imagine. After my implant surgery I was able to move around freely, minus drains at 2 weeks out. I just rested like a good patient the first 2 weeks, watching movies and being waited on hand and foot.
Stock up on the juices and goodies you love to enjoy, and movies to watch, magazines...you know the routine. I always splurge on new jammies prior to surgery.

Margo, you are in my thoughts right now, as you undergo the surgery, and I know you will be fine. This too shall pass. The road you have traveled is so much like a lot of those on this board, so know you are always surrounded by those who really "know what it's like" to be in your shoes". Let us hear from you when you feel up to it. Hugs.

Update

I was very sore this morning when I got up so went back to bed and then I having just a little pain. This corset they gave me is cutting the circulation under my arm pits. I can take off the bandages at Midnight--I think I will wait til tomorrow morning.

Just relaxing today.

Margo

P.S. Thank you for all the good/positive vibes and prayers.

Itchy

I am itchy under the corset--they used the wrong kind of tape--they used the one that I am sensitive to. Can't wait to take the tape off in the morning.

Every day will get better--that is what I am telling myself.

I've taken more pain pills this time than I did with the double mastectomy but I think it is because they gave me pain meds through the iv when I was in the hospital. I am keeping on top of the pain meds and antibiotics. Taking them as directed an not waiting until I have pain.

I walked in a Veterans Day parade with Jake and my sister this morning--I felt wonderful--no pain. Very short parade.

Wow, Margo!

I can hardly believe you walked in a parade this morning! Then, again, yes - knowing you, I can believe it! :-)

So glad you're doing well. And DO take your pain meds as directed. Pain is better managed from a preventative standpoint.

Take good care, rest, recuperate. Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery.

Kind regards, Susan

Margo, glad to hear you came

Margo, glad to hear you came through the surgery well, and that you are on the road to recovery. Heck, you are more than on the way if you walked in a parade this morning. One thing about the tape you are sensitive to, I also have a sensitivity to the tape, and have found a unique way to get it off without taking skin with it. VODKA! However, you do not drink the Vodka, you soak it in a cotton ball, and apply to the tape. It will melt the adhesive, and the tape comes of smoothly. Try it, and let me know. If it doesn't work on the tape, drink the remaining vodka.....you won't feel a thing when the tape comes off. Good luck. Hugs,

Judy

Vodka

No hard stuff in my house.
I have also heard that rubbing alcohol does the same thing with out the hurt.

I just can't wait to get in the shower tomorrow morning.

Yes, the rubbing alcohol

Yes, the rubbing alcohol does the same thing. Sometimes it takes a little longer for it to work. Evidently the Vodka is potent enough that it works quickly....can you imagine what it does to your gut! Good luck on getting that stuff off, because it hurts if you just pull. Good to hear you are doing well.

Hugs,

Judy

Margo, Well, you are

Margo,
Well, you are bouncing back in true form. Glad it went well. I have that same problem with the tapes. After my lumpectomy I had tape burns all around the incision. It hurt, itched and bothered me more than the surgery sites. I just gently tugged mine off. Not too bad and it was such a relief to have it off.
Hope that you continue to mend and recoup. Prayers for both.

I had a bra fitting today since I have to wear it 24/7 for awhile.
Where the tape was is very raw but getting better.
