Today makes post op day 21 and I feel great, I actually go back to work tomorrow and I think I am bitting off more than I can chew because not only am I returning to work tomorrow but I agreed to do a double which is a 16 hour shift and I regret agreeing to it now. I went to the mall yesterday and I did really good, but I became tired really fast but I continued to walk the mall because I know in order for me to get over the tiredness is to continue to exert myself. I will post new pictures up later today.

Tomorrow is going to be a excellent day because not only is it my birthday but these ugly drains are coming out!!!!!! Its been 16 days with these things on my side and it will make my day once they are gone. My son wanted to buy me a gift but of course my heart wouldn't Allow it. I couldnt imagine my son spending his allowance on me I would feel so selfish, but I did tell him how much I love him and I only want him to make me a card from his heart and I would love that more than anything in the world. Well enough of the birthday talk I hope everyone is having a Happy Sunday.

Hi, Quick question: When you had your procedure done was it at a Hospital or plastic surgery only facility? My doctor has a great reputation in Boston, MA I have read but he is NOT at a hospital. He is affliated with one. I worry if there was a complication and only plastic surgeon's were the doctors available. Maybe I'm worrying needlessly, I wondered where you had it done and anyone else that has had plastic surgery?
