Rev. post op update (dare I say this?)

One week post op from revision surgery no. 2. Ps used bioderm (?) and stated that he did everything completely different. I didn't get sick and it's been easy, so far. Thank God! The previous rev was very difficult. In hindsight, I'm thinking lymphedema was at play. It was the node loss side, elbow through hand. Sound familiar??

Anyway, today I gave them "the once over". They look FANTABULOUS!!!! Knock on wood. I've had high expectations, but these babies surpass them by a mile. I am allowing myself to gush for a moment. Then, I'll return to reality.

It is possible that after having underarm implants, anything is an improvement. But, no raining on my parade!

I did contact PRMA to get the paperwork started, just in case. There's a 3-4 month wait for nonactive bc. (clearly shell shocked)

Here's to hoping that Lefty likes the new home!!!
Enjoy your weekend.
Love, candace

    RE, how are you faring?

    Clementine, did you notice I seemed to be "toasting", again? Seems that there's a pattern emerging. Haha, but no amaretto in this house.
    Jean, I love you!

    Megan and Laughs-a-lot, Thank you!

    I'm really worrying, more as time passes. I am, literally, too scared to move. I know it's unhealthy. But, I feel like I must do every logical thing to help support the healing. Since I can't drive and am not using my arms for anything that is not necessary, I'm geeking out. Internet, books, scrabble on my android. It's not a pretty sight. Haha.

    Lounging with abandon (I wish),
    Candace
