Sisters..... I was in the ER yesterday. I was having pain where there are no nerves. Well they informed me that the ps may have removed too much around the nipple and as a result there is not enough blood flow. Basically my skin is dying. We are applying antibiotics and are waiting too see if it dies completely. Of that happen we discuss grafting. I just having to wait again. God really wants me to learn patience!!!!!!! I think I got the message.

    I am praying that the skin will heal up and wont die on you. Im so sorry you are having to go through this on top of your reoccurence at that. I had to chuckle at your saying that you think god is trying to send you a message and that you get it already! I say that quite often. You do have to wonder what he has in store for all of us fighters and warriors. It must be very special. Just keep that positive attitude. Dont give up and know that us sisters are always here.

    Take care
