Feeling Better!

Hi Everyone! It has now been 5 weeks since my surgery and I am feeling much better. I am still soar and tight, but not as bad as it used to be. I can pretty much do whatever right now, I just have to be careful. Unfortunately I am able to clean the house now. I had my first fill, and it wasn't too bad. I was more soar for a couple of days, but not too bad. The doctor thinks I will need around 9 fills (once a week) and then I will have surgery for the exchange 3-4 weeks after that. So probably have the surgery around middle of August or September. I am so glad I am feeling better because today is Cody's last day of school and starting next week he will be saying, "I'm bored!" Thanks again for all your prayers! God is so good to us!

Recovering

I had three doctor appointments this week! The doctor said everything looks good. I do have some fluid build up, but he said when they start the expansion process, they can extract the fluid. I was able to go to small group last night, so that was good! I am going to church tomorrow for Mother's Day. It's been two and a half weeks since my surgery. My chest is still very soar and hurts. I'm just taking Tylenol right now. I will start the fills for expansion next week on Friday. The nurse said it should take 4-8 weeks and then a month after that I will have surgery to put in the implants. I know I have already said it, but thank you all again for all of your love, prayers, cards, notes and meals you have sent! You all have truly shown what the body of Christ is suppose to be like! Love you all so much!

Expanders

Expanders are the big round things I have in my chest that are used for streching my skin. Whoever said expanders don't hurt (like my doctor) has never had expanders! Yes they do hurt! I am getting tired of hurting and being uncomfortable all the time! Sometimes I wish I could just rip out these expanders!!! Sorry about the complaining. I just had to vent for a while! Having to go through this makes me stop and think about other people who suffer everyday...much more than I am! Take some time today and ask God to put on your heart people who are suffering today and take some time to pray for them.
