Five Months

Since it is July 28th and my surgery was February 28th five months have now passed.  Um, I am still working on patience and have decided maybe February 28th, 2013 I will be able to say what a good decision this was but right now - I have good days and bad days.  I do think after surgery on August 9th I will be more happy having some reduction so there is a little more balance.  I should also be able to purchase more new bras in a small size to fit both girls.   The doctor said the only real discomfort will come from my groin where he takes a skin graft to reconstruct the nipple - ouch!   I am afraid to even google this so I will not.  I am such a glutten for punishment sometimes.    I spent two days in Lansing at a conference and I can say by the end of day two of sitting all day - my abs were so tight and hurting I just wanted to lay down on the floor and stretch.  That was the very first thing I did when I got home!

I have been exercising more lately and I am actually thinking about doing Zumba this morning in Niles or going to Yoga at the COA.  Decisions, decisions.   I am looking forward to the change of seasons, cooler weather (I have never ran the A/C in the bedroom so much) and sleeping snuggled up instead of exposed.   I am looking forward to next year coming off tamoxifen and going onto the next inhibitor with hopes my evening hot flashes go away again. 

Oh, I did go get my blood work done this week at Lakeland Medical Park - it was not as long as the last time  went.  This is also where my outpatient surgery will be - nice new facility and happy it is not at the hospital which is just a little more serious care.

Off to enjoy the day.
