UNREMARKABLE!

I am almost 3 months out from my April surgery.  After giving my Flex HD a tightening up to put the implant back where it's supposed to be anatomically, changing out both implants for smaller ones, cleaning out some scar tissue, and getting me all back to rights again I remain unremarkable.  Ha ha!  We had Dr. Ras for the ultrasound guided boob tour.  He was there in 2010 when I had to go back for the added details of my original diagnosis.  Great guy who has a wonderful demeanor and gives you the straight story.  Nothing better than being unremarkable.  He explained the little pocket of fluid - nice and clear.  It's tucked in under a little area of the implant.  Bill says to think of it like an under inflated dodge ball.  Yup kinda that same feeling.  No reason to cause any further disturbance.  Don't want to repeat the Infection Year of 2012!  Getting farther away from that year feels great.

I have some funky stuff still but all easy breezy considering...  Neuropathy that has really been humming.  Whooee!  My fingernails are still coming off again because of all the high dose antibiotics post surgically.  They have the appearance of what I call Casper waves underneath what is left on the nail bed.  I just have to be careful with them as they lift easily.  The trick is to do the gentle emery board over the area to prevent any unintended hookings.  The scars across the breast areas remind me of my situation as one scar leads into another, and the scar tissue does build up again.  It is like continental plates colliding inside me.  I try to think of them of as reminders of how far I've come.  Power surges! 

For all your wonderful thoughts, hugs, kisses, cards, emails, calls and notes thank you.  They do make a difference and three years later they absolutely still fortify me.  Please send your good vibes out to Pam and Brad who are fighting brain cancer.  They fight a horrific fight.

Enjoy the fourth of July!  Celebrate each day!
