Re: Brain MRI this morning

Thank you, ladies, for all the warm wishes and kind thoughts.

I went into the plastic surgeons office saying I didn't care what my chest looked like..just get the expanders out and put in whatever fits in there! He said he wanted to use a certain size implant, and I needed a fill to be able to get it in there. I thought...whatever..just hurry up! He told me he was putting 60 ml in each, but ended up putting 120. They look ridiculous...all up around my neck practically and hard as a ROCK. The part that is hurting me is the part that kind of goes into the armpit. Also, because its under the muscle, muscle cramps in the breast. Woot!
I can't wait until the surgery to get those damn things out of there. And Denise, yes, Im popping Vicodin at least twice a day. It's the only thing that works!
Prayers and positive energy all around. Big hugs! I'll let everyone know when the brain MRI is...hopefully those two little buggers are gone!!!
