I Want my Life Back -Plainfield, IL

I have not updated in awhile. I have had so much going on. My broken ribs have finally healed and we are hoping that i finally am. I do not regret my choice at all. If anything i still wish that i would have gotten it done sooner. Even with the set back with the sores and the infections. About a month ago i had another infection from surgery. I was working to much and had the chills and fever along with a bad sore. I ended up passing out hitting my head. I drove myself to the er and found out that i for sure had another breast infection. Fought with my dr for wound care. By the time I went to wound care the sore was basically healed. SO now we are playing the waiting game. I have two more opening up but they are doing much better. We think that maybe the third round of antibiotics worked. I have started jogging running. Which is amazing something i could NEVER ever do before and its amazing not to get a black eye. I have been working more with less pain. I am still seeing a pain specilast because we have had to keep putting off physical therapy with everything going on. The other thing it looks like my torn labrum in my shoulder may be healing itsself. SO these are all positive things. I have started working out again and have decided i am going to finally get my diving cert and start that. I also am now able to take my first aid cpr classes. I also finished my sever weather spotter training so i can help people in emergencys. all things i could NOT do becasue of my large breasts. I am able to move faster with the kids and enjoy my life so much more. No matter what I will never regret this decision. It looks like i still have a few months ahead of me but i am hoping to loose another 50 pounds which will really help me out alot. Its just amazing that i can fit into clothes and how i feel more confident when people look at me like im a normal person. Having my pain reduced and migraines reduced has been two of the best things. I hope soon to be off all my meds and start following my dreams :-) good luck to everyone!

I am at ten weeks post opt and all the sudden getting holes under my breast. I finally saw my surgeon and she said it was a split stitch. She would see me In three months. That was on Fri. Then I had another sore bigger open up today and what looked to be a blood blister.it did pop and bled on and off for 3 hours. It is so pain full I am tempted to go to the er. The Dr lifted all restrictions and wants me to do pt..I can't even move with out pain. I may return to the Dr tommorow
