Let's Hop On The Pink Bus For Mariam_11_09 For Her Surgery

Mariam is having her final reconstruction today, her port removed and surgery to repair her stomach muscles.


So, let's board the pink bus to support her! I know I can count on the pink sisters to all show up for her!


Thanks,


Angie


p.s. Here is Mariam's post about her upcoming surgery incase you missed it. I thought I should repost it:
My final reconstruction, that is the nip and tuck, port removal and a recent addition of hernia surgery. Actually, it turns out not to be a tear in the stomach muscle but a seperation of the stomach muscles in the middle that they are going to sew back together. It is supposed to be a 6 hr surgery, significanly less than the 10 1/2 hrs for masectomy and DIEP flap I originally had and not meant to be as bad BUT I am feeling a little nervous about it.I can't help thinking back to the DIEP flap and what that felt like and that is making me nervous, that is the thought. Usually I am pretty calm and together and can empty my mind of those thoughts ........ but that's not happening right now.

Anyway thanks for reading. Just wanted to put this in words to a group who can understand.

On the upside I get symmetical and perkier breasts (can't wait to go buy lacy bras), the hernia bulge corrected and 2 weeks of NO work, lying on my back, watching TV and eating bonbons with my 12 year old waiting on me and friends dropping by ........ huge contrast to my typical days:) Hmmm... I like this thought better.

much love to you all.
