First of all, if you want reconstruction, be sure you want it. I had my expanders put in two weeks and 4 days. The first week I felt great, almost normal, or maybe I was so out of it, I just felt great. The second week, the pain start to kicks in. My dad made it here to Wasilla last Wednesday and I am telling you that even if you are a completely grown adult, just having a parent around, makes life so much better. Well with one small flight and wouldn't you know, his bag got left back in Fairbanks. So we ended up driving to Anchorage. That did me in I didn't realize how much arm and pectoral muscles are used when driving, and when driving a couple of hours, ouch. But we did it and I had a nice time with my dad. My first Golden Corral since last spring. :) That's for another blog.
Today I went in for a fill.
I believe there were 120 cc filled in during surgery in each side. TODAY I had 60cc in each side. I can see and feel the difference, but it's not this huge change. It's crazy to go through this even though I've been through it before, only at a much slower race. Pain has subsided, but it's late and I have treatment tomorrow. We all know this means, somewhat of a late night tonight, but with all of your prayers an easy night and safe drive into Anchorage tomorrow. Please know I wouldn't trade this experience for any other way. Love you, love me, love you, love me.
