Re: Last chance to talk me out of it (?)
Reconstruction has gone well, I did have some fluid accumulation and had to have a drain put in for about 5 weeks then it fell out by itself and I freaked out started to cry. We waited to see what happened and the darn thing healed on its own! I have had to have physical therapy to my shoulder. Being a physical therapist assistant it was hard to accept that I needed help to get through this but my shoulder is responding well and the boobies look great. Get my nipples done on the 18th of May.
