Surgery Done
Topic: Curing the Cures
My main reconstruction surgery is done and I'm back home. There's one more reconstruction procedure left--creating a nipple that's made from the tissue that's there and a tattoo to make a pink aereola--which will be done, probably in a month or so if I decide to do it. I probably will get it done just because I also want him to revise the deep hole under my arm where the lymph resection scar is stuck to the deep tissue instead of moving with normal arm movement. I feel like a trussed pig with a VERY TIGHT post surgical bra that I'm supposed to wear 24/7 at least until my follow-up appointment next Tuesday. It's quite painful even with the pain meds, but that's part of the territory. So my standard comment is, "don't mind me, I'm on DRUGS."  More later.
