I keep looking up....

How nice life has been with no more chemo and my hair.. yes I said hair Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!  Has started to grow back, its now the first of June and I no longer look like a chia pet. And weighing in at 183 at the end of November 09.... Drum Roll...... Now at 160!! Whooo hooo!!! I married my prince in April and very, very happy. I just learned today that I no longer have to have herecptin, thank God! cause my heart was not liking it so much.

Okay let me back up a little.... the end of January I went in for some tweaking on my reconstruction, which is common if someone has both a mastectomy and reconstruction done at the same time. Well... the day after the Superbowl Feb 3rd? I woke up in a puddle of blood and said that doesn't look good. I went to the doctors and ended up in the hospital having my implant removed after a few days of healing I went home. So hear me out... I'm getting married in April so I wanted to heal up fast to get my boob back before I leave for Jamaica. We pushed it and waited about 6 weeks (should have waited 8) my one boob was getting lonely, so we gave it another pal to hangout with! Back in for more surgery (but a happy one).

Here we are in March and I'm super happy I'm going to Jamaica to get married when my friend Betsy asked to see how my girls looked, she is like my sister so I showed her. She gave me a few funny looks and said it looked really red, so we felt it and yep... sure enough it was hot as could be. I went home right away to my man and said "Houston we have a problem" called the doctor after hours and she had us meet her at the hospital right away. Sure enough I had a bad infection, this time I didn't let it get to the bleeding point (sorry for the gory details). She took it away! I felt like Tom Hanks in the movie Castaway when he lost Wilson..
A few weeks of stinky antibiotics and I batted my eyes and begged for a boob before the wedding. So things looked good the end of March and I went in yet again for more surgery, this time a tissue expander was put in. The purpose of the expander is to create a soft pocket to contain the permanent implant. YAY!! Michael will have a two boobed bride!

Okay its the beginning of April so my little sister and I are shopping for bathing suits for Jamaica and we are in the dressing trying them on, when I noticed my breast was really red and warm to the touch... NOT AGAIN I said! We left right away and I called my doctor who was out of town, great! could my luck be any worse I thought?! So they gave me the doctor that takes her patients when she is away, I called and he had me come in right away. I pulled up in front of the new doctors office and Michael was waiting for me in the parking lot, we walked in and my heart was beating so fast I was so scared. The doctor told me that things didn't look promising and that he wanted me to go to the hospital. He told me I had time to go home and get packed and go have dinner, but I was going to be in there for awhile. The doctor called ahead to the hospital and they had a room waiting for me as soon as I got there. The put me on antibiotics via- IV and I met with the infectious diseases doctor the next day when she came to room. She said things did not look promising and if the infection didn't clear up with the IV they had to remove the tissue expander. After 4 days on IV it was still red, I had no choice! there was NO WAY I was going to Jamaica with an infection hoping it would clear up, and if things got worse there, I would end up in a Jamaican hospital (which was out of the question). Okay...Okay... I'll just end this quick by saying YES! I was a uni-boob bride!

Next surgery is scheduled for July 19th.......... (to be continued..........)
