I wish I could say this was the last but alas it was not meant to be. On a happy note when I go back on the 3rd I will only have 50cc's to go since I took 90 today. So the end to this part of the process is almost over. I will not lie to you... I hurt this afternoon. Between my fibromyalgia, arthritis and this expansion I am in serious pain. I started the day off good and even went to Paint the Town PINK. It was wonderful and the guest speaker was so inspiring! I enjoyed hearing her story.
Until my next entry ... thanks for the prayers and love to you all.
I have decided to record my journey through breast reconstruction in hopes that it will help others prepare for what I am going through.

Mammogram Day
Yes it was that time again and those closest to me know I am scared when I go. Up until today I have always had someone go with me "just in case". This time I decided I was a big girl and I could handle it. However, on the way there my mind wandered to the place it always goes.... what if it shows something, can you handle it, etc. That is when I heard a soft voice ask "Why are you looking for problems? Wait until it actually happens and then we deal with it." It was then I realized I was not alone and God had not only calmed my nerves but had gently scolded me about worrying when I didn't need to. I guess there will always be that small fear in the back of my mind but I know I am not alone and that is where I need to focus so the fear stays at bay. I am not perfect, I am still a work in progress but I am thankful for gentle reminders when I need them. The mammogram by the way.... all clear for 6 more months. Praise the Lord!

Expansion #6
100 cc's today! Only 1 possibly 2 more expansions to go. I hope just 1 more. We will decide on the 20th. So far I am sore from it being more but that is all part of it. After my last expansion, Wayne, Andrew and I all had a bad stomach virus. Compared to that I would rather hurt a little.
I did not realize until the doctor told me, how easy it is to pop an expansion. He told me a patient had popped hers lacing her boots. So yea, guess I will be extra careful.
Thanks for the prayers... love until the next time.
