2 Weeks and Counting - Canfield, OH

Well, it's been 7 months since my TT & I'm doing great! I still have alot of numbness, but that is normal! (So I'm told) I'm now 58 years old. I've been back to my surgeon several times since the surgery. I just saw him a couple of weeks ago & I've scheduled another surgery. There is a small revision needed on my TT & on my breast reconstruction (May 2013) & I'm going to have lipo on my thighs. The surgery is scheduled for June 4, 2014.....less than a month away! So excited!!

I went to the dr yesterday to get some fluid drained. Just got a little; about 10 cc's or so. And he took out a stitch that had worked it's way to the surface. I'm feeling so much better each and every day! I'm down about 10 lbs so far. I think once I get back to walking regularly, I will lose some more. I'm only about 7 lbs from where I want to be anyway! I still can't wear jeans or anything that has anything besides an elastic waistband. It just hits me in the wrong place and makes me hurt when I don't have to. I do find that wearing Spanx or a similar garment does feel better than not wearing it. My next post op appointment is in January. At that time we will be discussing further lipo. The journey continues...............

I got my final drain out this morning! What a relief!! I really think I will feel much better now that it is out! Also, I get to move from my binder to a Spanx type garment! Yippy!! I was a very good day until I got one of the worst migraines I've ever had! Oh well, feeling better now. Another Dr appointment in one week.
