Tonight I went to SHOUT (support group for young breast cancer survivors), and the subject was reconstruction surgery. This was of course, particularly interesting to me since I’m looking forward to starting that process late February. Turns out since I have damaged tissue due to radiation, I can’t have implants. Instead I’m looking at the DIEP flap, which will take tissue out of my abdomen and building breasts out of that. There are pros and cons to each surgery but this one is what the Dr recommended to me. So I’m going to look into it. I think the biggest inconvenience is going to be the amount of time I will spend in the hospital and recovering. About 6 weeks total but 4-5 days in the hospital to start off, and then 3 weeks of not being able to do anything at all. That’s going to be hard for this busy mommy!
Speaking of mommy—Trinity is saying “Mommy” and “Daddy” now instead of mama and dada. Big milestone! And sooooo cute.
While I was at SHOUT, Trinity entertained Grandmommy and Grandpa, and Gracie and Chris went on a date tonight to the OCU basketball game. It was Dell night, so she got to meet some of Daddy’s friends and eat yummy game food. They went for ice cream afterward. I’m sure it made her week. I can’t wait to ask her about it when I wake her up tomorrow.
Alright kids. That’s all I’ve got.
