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!
So great that you're feeling better!!!
