Fill 'er Up!

A little surprising yesterday when we went to the Doctor's (Plastic Surgeon) office yesterday and they were ready to "do a fill" as they call it.  Hmmmmm, just when I am starting to have mostly good days.  But she said "it wouldn't be like starting over".  And that is when you want to say, excuse me but have you ever had this done yourself?  In the end though, you do want progress so you may as well go with it!  60cc's more per side were added (this is added to the tissue expanders) in a relatively pain-free process.  The definition of pain takes on a whole new meaning every day!  This felt more like someone just sat on your already sore chest.  And then later the pressure was joined by pain.  So for those of you that thought I went off the pain meds a little too quick, you will be happy to know I fell asleep with the aid of a Percocet and Valium last night.  Boy did I sleep well!  :-)

I made an exciting discovery yesterday!  I have somewhat mastered the waist down stretch. Now you may think that is easy but just try it! Laying down, see if you can really stretch (you know that morning stretch that feels oh so good) but just from the waist down (no arms, no head or neck, and certainly nothing that makes the chest area even tweak). Yeah, that's right....it is pretty darn hard to do!  I have been surprised at how involuntary the morning stretch really is.  Feels like your body just does it without any brain command. 

Today is a great day!  It's FRIDAY!  Yeah, even though I am not "working", there is still something great about knowing it's Friday!  My pain is being eased by Tylenol, I don't have to shower today (gross to some of you I know), and the girls are getting together for a quick happy hour tonight.  Fun Fun Fun!  Of course, my happy hour is water or Gatorade -- woohoo! 

I hope you have a great Friday and an even better weekend!
