Or will have by 8 am tomorrow. Same problem as last time. Infected skin, no bacterial growth in cultures. They took about 200 ml of fluid out of frankenlefty this morning. Brought it down in size from a freakish stripper boob to a normal stripper boob. Can’t tell you how much better that feels. It had actually started to migrate to the right so I truly would have been uniboobed. PS says I stil have options. I have to wait another 3 to 6 months to stabilize and we can work up a new plan. Maybe one that doesn’t involve implants, depending on how frankenlefty looks without the expander. That’s fine by me.
I have to admit there is just a tiny part of me that is glad to see it gone. It’s been ridiculous, as I’ve mentioned before. I have to actually haul the thing up and out the window to reach things in a drive thru. Definitely not going to miss that. I will also be able to sleep on my left (once the drains are out. Again.) without feeling uncomfortable.
Oh and I’ll have drains for Halloween. I figure I can go as a Breast Cancer Awareness Borg.
I am 1 of 8.
Get your mammograms.
Resistance is futile.
Boo.
So sorry, Nicole.
Hope you are a bit more comfortable soon.
damn. Given your reluctance to take this adventure in the first place I was so hoping that it would be smooth going at some point. Good riddance to bad frankenboobs.
Thinking of you with love and standing as always in awe of your courage and humor. Out with the old – in with whatever comes next. Soldier on.
love your humor. my prayers are with you that all goes well.
I hope you start to feel more comfortable very soon. Constant pain is never a good look.
hugs.

Thanks

Aw dang it. I was so hoping that it would pull through.
I hope that the surgery went well and that you are feeling better soon.
Hugs!!
I’m sorry, Nicole. I hope the surgery went well and you’re more comfortable soon!
Good luck today Nicole I am thinking about you! Hope everything goes smoothly today. You will be back to new soon.
You have the patience of a saint. I would have ripped the PS’s head off my now and tossed it out the window. Not that it’s his fault, but gosh it would feel good. =)
Hope you feel better soon!
Nicole

I wish you didn’t make me laugh so much, because now I feel guilty for laughing about your misfortune!
Do you want a copy of the knitted boob pattern? Or do you already have it?
Nicole I’m praying that you heal fast. This explains the drain at the Halloween Party.
Whoa. Just realized that my replies to comments now show up on the blog. Good to know.
Okay, I laughed out loud at your “1 of 8″ comment. Awesome. Sorry you have to deal with these complications – what crap. Grr.
