The days are Flying By...
I Believe I'm Mentally There... have had quite a few sleepless nights since last week, guess the anxiety is getting the best of me, just the "fear of the unknown", kinda how I felt about the mastectomy... and that went Well, my scars healed and look good - This coming from someone who was afraid and did NOT look at herself for almost 3 months post op! (I know... I know) These are the things I have to Remind myself to CALM MYSELF! I KNOW I AM IN GREAT HANDS & I'm actually looking forward to the surgery... perhaps I can get a little sleep Wednesday. lol
I did take a few pictures (of my Breast area) lastnite for the FIRST TIME SINCE 12/13/13 WOW!! ... but I'll wait and see if the Dr is going to take some before and after pics ... I'm certain his will be better, if so. I've also NEVER taken my top off for anyone except my Drs mostly, my hubby a HANDFUL of times and my daughter who becomes my caregiver after surgery. I'm just STILL NOT USE TO NOT HAVING BREASTS!
Nonetheless, I'll try to update again Soon! Keep me in your Positive Thoughts and Prayers Please.
Thanks
VERY HELPFUL INFO
Hopefully it helps others!

On December 13th... I will be two years out from...
I am FINALLY at a GREAT Place in my life and I'm READY for the Next Level!! :)
On 11/11/2015, I begin my the process of reconstruction! Yayyy Me! :)
I am getting implants as I don't have enough fat to create them. (Per Dr. Stephenson's expert opinion:) Admittedly, I'm a little Scared AND Anxious at the Same Time!! Scared of the "NEW & UNKNOWN", What to expect, as we are All Different and THE PAIN! :(
THIS Year I JUST got back feeling in my breast area... I've been Numb since having the bilateral mastectomy - Yayyy For ANESTHESIA!!
I'm not one for Laying around much, so I wonder about that - how soon can I get back to my routine and of course the dreadful JP Drains! But at this point I can endure almost anything (with Minimal PAIN) to Feel WHOLE & LOOK Like A Woman with BREASTS Again!!!! I was born withOUT breasts.. But NOT NIPPLES... that Part has Been the Most Difficult for me to come to grips with!!
I will gladly keep posting... Stay Tuned!
PS I LOVE This Website
Provider Review
Dr Stephenson immediately made me feel relaxed and comfortable, (especially since I was getting half nude in front of a man other than my husband I was Extremely Uneasy about this). He has a great personality and even a sense of humor... GOOD BEDSIDE MANNER Means EVERYTHING To me, especially after what I went through with my EX (Mastectomy) surgeon. I am most grateful for that and the wealth of knowledge about his craft, his ability to answer my questions and make "Suggestions" that we can AGREE to on MY Treatment. That's a Definite Plus in my book... I don't like being "TOLD what's Going to be Done to Me"... It's My BODY... MY CHOICE! He answers alot of questions here, he's one of the Top 10 and he's on the Health Grade "Honor Roll". I've done quite a bit of research and I'm eager to see the Outcome of God & Dr Stephenson's "WERK"! lol
