Hello everyone - It's me Mary Jo stopping in.
Hello my dear sweet her2 family..........
Well, I made it. Whoooo! I was a little scared and prayed and prayed and prayed all would go well. IT DID! A BLESSING.
Dr. Hijjawi did a fantastic job "creating" my new girls and it amazes me that you can look like this after having bilateral mastectomies. It's a miracle really. ANOTHER BLESSING.
As Maryann reminded me over and over again....it get's easier everyday and that is true. The day after the 9 1/2 hour procedure was rough (to say the least) but the next day I felt fabulous and was up and about. I walk the halls and can get in and out of bed and in and out of chairs all by myself. The doctors tell me every morning that I am "ahead of the curve and healing quicker than most women." ANOTHER BLESSING.
My husband has been my rock (well, next to God) and takes such wonderful care of me. ANOTHER BLESSING.
So, as you can see, so far so good. I am thankful and I am thankful to each one of you for your prayers and love. ANOTHER BLESSING.
I'm typing this from the hospital and now me and Mark are gonna go take a stroll in the hall (the first time in Mark's life he can walk faster than me) Tomorrow, God Willing, it's homeward bound for this girl.
Love you guys - you are all blessings to me.
Mary Jo
