Re: been set free indeed

[Guest guest]

Thanks Patty,

I'm not sure what he meant by " a mess " either but I will find out

tomorrow. I am glad to hear about the settling in part because I have

peaked down my bandage and things don't look very promising. I had to

come to San Diego alone and I am dreading showing my husband on

Sunday when I go back. Glad to hear things will look better, at least

I sure feel better. I love being able to feel my chest again. I'll

stay in touch. jan

and am so glad to hear that your surgery went well. Sounds like you

have had some immediate improvements, which is awesome to hear, no

doubt! Hmmmm, I wonder what " it was a mess " meant, besides the

obvious? Did he have to remove breast tissue for sure? I am sure he

made you look great, you will see in a few days. And remember that

things have to " settle in " for awhile before you know how you are

really going to look. I am sure you are going to look fine, and will

soon be shopping for some pretty new bras.

have an understanding brother in law! That happens sometimes. I

remember my husband had to stop at the Saguaro National Park for a

glass of water for me, I was so thirsty, and the park entrance was

right on our way home (we lived out in the boonies of Tucson). It

was only a few more miles to our house, but I was so thirsty, I

begged him for water! I guess I should consider myself lucky that I

didn't throw it all up.

okay? So happy for you that it is over and yes, that you didn't

reimplant with saline! God bless you Jan!
