Hello everyone. I apologize for being a bad blogger lately. I can say though that no news about Kimberly's Journey is good news :). I am doing well. Praise God!!
I have just had my lift and implant done on my left side. Pretty exciting! I have two perky boobs now. I cannot believe how simple and pain free this surgery was. I took pain pills for one night and that was it. I am still restricted for a week with lifting over 10lbs with my left arm, but I am doing so well. My right side with the expander is now big and perky. Both sides are like a size C so I feel they look pretty normal. In a few more months I will have the expander removed and the implant put in. My tissue will continue to expand allowing for a normal look once the implant is placed. Its not as pretty looking as the new left side, but it will be eventually.
I am a little bummed because I am do right now for an MRI and I can't have one until my expander is removed. I'm suppose to have a mammogram then six months later and MRI and so on. So I will have my MRI as soon as my expander is removed.
I did just see Dr. Kaplan for my 3 month check up and all my blood work looked good :) I always get a little nervous before I see him because you always fear this dang cancer is going to come back. I'm told that fear gets less and less the more time that goes by.
So I will continue to see Dr Kaplan every 3 months for years. I also will see Dr. Buchanan every six months for years. I see her after I have a mammogram or a MRI.
Dan and I are doing good! Our life is pretty much back to normal other than the more frequent doctor visits. Which I am fine with. I like to see the doctors and the hear that all is good.
Thank you to all of my precious friends and family that have followed this journey. I will keep you up to date when things are going on. It will just be fewer and farther between. Which is good huh!?
