I know you've all been waiting for the day to come when I post about how the red mark on my left breast has finally healed. Well, this isn't the post. Sorry to disappoint!
It's still there! The damn thing won't heal and I think I've finally figured out why that is. I am slowly becoming braver and I can now touch my skin / scar area without a buffer. I still can't rub lotion on the scar without a makeup pad for protection, but I can at least touch it and see what's going on. When I press gently on the red mark I can feel the expander clear as day. There is a bump on it that is pressing right into my muscle / skin. I think the "pointy" area from the expander is just irritating that one spot and it's not able to heal properly because it's not given a chance to do so. It kind of makes sense to me. Does it make sense to you?
So I will continue to do everything I am suppose to. No running. No walking. No exercising whatsoever. And now I understand why. I just need to be super careful for 17 more days and then I'll get these horrible expanders replaced with the nice smooth and soft implants. Then I will finally get my life back!
I went this morning to get blood work done for my second surgery. Tomorrow I have a pre-op appointment with Dr. Spiro. I am very interested about what he will say. I know he is confident that my skin will heal properly once the implants are in.
Oh, and the comedy fundraiser went really well! I had a lot of fun and there was a great turnout. I sent an email to Caroline to ask her if she felt it was a success. I will update you on that and my Dr. Spiro consultation in a later post.
