Post Sugery

Tomorrow will be one week from my procedure. I wish I could say I was feeling great. This time around there is a lot more pain!! The drain sites are very tender and my chest wall is very sensitive. I have an appointment on Tuesday and hope to get at least one drain out.
I'm hoping I do not have an infection. The left side drain is rather painful, but I'm not running a high fever and there is no red streaking or heat. I hope to know more on Tuesday.
Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. The meals have been fabulous!

God is good!

Surgery Schedule

Next Monday is the day! I hope this is the last surgery ever!!!

Dr Kronowitz will remove the spacer and put in implants on both sides to hopefully even out things. I will stay in the hospital one night. I will have a drain on each side (YUCK!!!) for a maximum of 3 weeks. Back to sponge baths (another YUCK!!!). My poor husband will have to go back to being my nurse maid and empty the drains twice a day.

I had a mammogram last week on the right side and it was clean - YEA!!!!!!!!

We have had a great fall and look forward to Thanksgiving & my birthday and of course Christmas! Already getting most of the shopping done!

Thank you so much for your continued support and prayers!

Love,
Terrie
