Checking in darlings! And psycho friend story!

Robyn66

Hi everyone!

Things have been going well, done with chemo since March.  I have hair, its extremely short (duh) and if one more person tells me how great I look with it or how I have the cheekbones to pull it off I just may beat them to death with a brick!!!  BUT I DIGRESS!

I have been having the fills done, three down one more to go.  At the last one my PS asked me if I had given any thought to what I wanted to do with the other side.  I was thinking of saying "can you make it into a purse?" he is a very sweet man but not the joking sort so hubby and I kind of gave him a deer in the head lights look and said "I don't know, just do what insurance pays for"

So he says "ok, we will do a  reduction and a lift on that side"

And I am thinking REDUCTION???  I thought at least I was going to get a decent size perky rack out of this mess???? But I kept my mouth shut because I just want to be done with surgery.  Maybe when I see him next I will say something but my feeling about hospitals is the sooner I can get the hell out of them the happier I am (not that I ever loved them to begin with!!) 

I feel really well, I have my first Onco check up on Thursday.  I know its going to be fine but of course I am a bit nervous.

I spoke with this friend of mine recently.  She is one of those "psychics" who told me SHE JUST KNEW I was going to be fine and I shouldn't worry.  Well she said it again and I said to her

You know, its a bit difficult when its YOUR LIFE you are thinking about.

AND SHE ACTUALLY GOT MAD AT ME FOR NOT TRUSTING HER WORD!!  She said "I TOLD you not to WORRY"  Do you think I would have TOLD  YOU NOT TO WORRY IF IT WASN'T TRUE"

so I just said of course not and then backed slowly out of the room!!!

BYE PSYCHO!!!!!!

Anyhoooo!!!

I feel great, I can't beleive I got through it, I know all of you will get through and I am sending loads of love and healing energy your way.  I adore you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there for me through the darkest time in my life!  I will try and pop in as much as I can to pay back as much as possible!

I hope I made you laugh today!!!

Love to all!

You sound great Robyn. I'm glad you're doing so well. Sounds like good news from the futurist!

There are tons of shared stories on breast reconstruction here. Maybe you want to look around some so you can be more choosy with what fits your idea of perky. A lift on the good side, proper fill (i.e. size) ensured one way or the other on the re-done side and you might be a happier camper. It's good to do your speaking up and homework ahead of time: it can spare you the retrospectoscope and second surgeries.

Glad you and DH are doing well.

Best,

Tender

I hate people like that -- that say they're positive that I or a test will be fine.  I actually get a sick pleasure when I tell her she was wrong if I get a bad scan.  The only good thing about bad news!!

Konakat I am with you....Everybody says I will be fine!   What?  You have a direct line to God and HE told you that?.....I don't think so........Drives me batty!!......
