Back at work, really busy!

I've been unable to write anything recently because I'm back at work and it's been really busy.

I'm feeling so much better these days. The pain is far better than a month ago, and I continue to go in for my weekly fills. My PS says only 2 more fills and I should be done! Yay! Then I will decide when I want to do the exchange surgery. I'm thinking to give my body a summer off and go in for my final (I hope!) surgery in the fall sometime. The tissue expanders don't hurt as much as they did in the early stages, so I might be able to wait a few months and not suffer in the interim. That would be great! I'm so over feeling shitty or being in pain.

I've been back at yoga since mid-May and it has been wonderful. It really helps with my joint pain and general stiffness. I wouldn't be a very happy camper without yoga these days.

The final surgery is a bit more intense than I thought. I will have general anaesthesia again (boo!), drains again (serious boo!), and won't be able to use my arms for at least a week. All in all, not great. So I think I will wait until fall and enjoy life for a while.

I've been working since May, but working at home off and on. I'm still on "intermittent personal leave" until December which means I can take off when I need to but have to use my vacation and sick time. I can use Kiel donations too if needed. So if you have any vacation time that is going to waste, I could sure use it for the fall surgery. I really appreciate it!

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Photo to come soon, my hair is growing in nicely and I actually need to pluck my eyebrows, seriously! I might even need a haircut in the next month or so to even things out a bit. Wouldn't that be cool!
