Long Time No Post!!

I am so sorry that I dropped off the face of the "blog" earth. Life has been such a whirlwind that I hadn't realized that I haven't posted since September. Well here is an update--the short sweet version. Over the last few months the plastics doctor has stretched the skin on my left side to its fullest. Then he has taken off the last 7 weeks to let it settle and stretch (while he had his own medical issues dealt with). So I go back the first week in March to talk about the next step in the process-taking the expander out, putting the implant in and making these two lumps on my chest actually look like boobs!! In my last post I complained about having a "d" boob and an "a" boob, well now that they are the same size they just need to be on the same level and look somewhat alike. I am feeling good and have enjoyed the break of not having weekly doctors appointment, I have struggled a little with my iron levels but that should be under control. I have been reminded a lot lately about what all I have been through and how blessed I am to be where I am at now. Talking with people who are just beginning their journey or those who are farther along than I, each day is a gift.
