Medical update

We returned home two weeks ago from a month long trip. It was nice to warm up a bit in the SW and see family and friends. The trip pushed my endurance at first, but I took advantage of a treadmill and the ability to walk outside without fear of falling. It was a great help. We so appreciated discovering how many people were praying for us, what a powerful blessing prayer is. Last week was my 12 week follow up appointment with the plastic surgeon Dr. N. I stopped by my oncologists office first as I'd found a lump under my left arm towards the end of our trip. I was pretty sure it was surgery trauma related, but since it was on the cancer side and I've been diagnosed. I reserve the right to be cautious. She checked it and did an ultrasound as well. It's a sernoma, a collection of blood and fluid as the result of surgery. Both of the docs feel it will go away on its own as its not infected. Dr. N is really happy with the results of my initial reconstruction. At this point, I have options. Do I want larger implants, do I need fat grafting to cover any wrinkles or dimples? Do I need incision revision. What about nipples and areola reconstruction? I looked at Dr. N and said, you are the artist, you tell me what you think I need to put my body into proportion. She decided that I need some incision revision and the nipple/areola cosmetic reconstruction. Hurrah! Nothing major. With surgery scheduled May 30th, I hope to be backpacking the end of June or early July! Now to lose that 10 pounds. I'd lost 4 before the trip. It came back...now I start over.
