recon

 

The hospital has just rung to say that I will begin the recon process on Friday!...this Friday!!! That was sudden and totally unexpected. And!! Guess what? This morning I had Maria around to fit me with a replacement prosthesis as my one was split and leaking and just for good measure I bought a new bra as well!

I am so excited and also so scared! I am going the diep flap road (if all goes well) so it will be a biggy. 

I will do my blog starting when I get back home from the hosp tomorrow after I go for the pre op stuff.

Wish me luck!!

    Hi Louie, just letting you know that you're in very good hands (which you probably knew already).  I had Dr Lam do my immediate reconstruction after bilat MX  (not DIEP though, with implants) 2 months ago and can say I'm very happy with the end result. He's a top plastic surgeon. All the best to the surgery, and to you Lynne too!  /Annie

    Thanks Poppy7, I am so excited and yet so scared!!! I know I am leaving everyone at work in the cactus as they don't have much time to replace me but I have so been looking forward to this. I have been to town this afternoon to buy the suck-it-in pants and a new granny nightie and jacket that my mother would have worn! Just need the special bra now.

    Good luck Lynne,

    Keep us all informed how you go. I am interested in the DIEP surgery too.

    Have a safe recovery on Friday.

    Love
