Just got back from Boston, and everything went well. One drain down, and one more to go. I felt SO bad for Krysta though. She still feels awful, and to make matters worse - she spent the whole day on the phone trying to straighten out her health issues with work - needing paperwork from the dr. that he is not providing. What a mess. Poor kid - she is totally drained. I literally feel better than she does!
The doctor said everything looked great, but there was no big reveal today. I thought he would take the tape off, but he's going to wait till next week, so I still don't know what my new girl looks like. He thinks I'll want to do a reduction on the other breast to make them even, but I doubt it. He also says the new girl will not hang the same as the old one - but again, for my entire life, I had one that was a LOT bigger than the other, so I can't see that being a problem. But he did say that he could make a new nipple from the old one if I did the reduction, so I suppose it's a slight possibility. I think he's like an artist that wants his work to show in the best light. LOL!!! I don't plan on doing any centerfolds though - so as long as I look ok in clothes, I'll be fine.
I have never been able to wear those pretty underwire bras, so I asked him if I could now - but he said no. Apparently, because you can't feel the new breast, sometimes an underwire can actually puncture the skin without your being aware of it. So maybe I'll at least be able to buy them to fit, and take the underwire out. Oh well, maybe I need to create a new line of sexy bras for women with reconstruction.
Last night seemed like the right time to cut my hair, so I tried version 1. I'm sure it will take some refining before I get something I like - of course by then, it will be replaced by a wig anyway!!! I'll post a photo later when Krysta has time to take it.
