One Tuesday I went for my last fill. I was given 100 cc. on the right side to even these bowling balls out. You may notice that they kind of spread out to my sides. Dr. Pope said he'll rein them in somewhat. I was so happy going to see the doctor because I knew that I would also be scheduled for my exchange on the same day. Yoohoo!!! I was thinking I'd have to sleep with these breast for another month or so but after talking to Dr. Pope, he said we could expedite the exchange.....

I was asked to meet with Lori. She is the person who schedules all of Dr. Popes appointments. I sat and waited for like a half an hour and was getting real impatience. She finally came out and asked if I wanted to do the exchange on Thursday. I'm sure I looked completely confused. I said, "this Thursday"? Double Yoohoo!!!

This is hard to explain but I'll try. It's been exactly 52 days since I had my breast removed. This expanders are not only uncomfortable, they hurt. And they are not mine. I have spent three months worrying about what my breast will look like when they are finished. To Big, to Small, Lopsided. Maybe they will be to hard. Maybe Freddy will hate them. Maybe I will hate them. After all the conversations I've had with Dr.Pope, I'm still terrified that they won't be right. Today is the day we'll find out. Now of course it will take a couple of weeks for my new breast to heal and for me to get use to them but at least they will be OUT OF MY FACE! I'll no longer look like a football quarterback!

This will be one of those days in my life that I'll never forget!   YOOHOOOOOO!
