Reconstruction swap over 5 days

Woohoo. ..5 more days until my tissue expanders are changed over.

We've just done the 1,000 km round trip for the pre op appointment and couldn't afford to remain there as we just couldn't afford that time away from work as my sick leave is well and truly gone and I want to keep some annual leave ...for well a holiday. My hubby works as a diabetes educator in private practise so when he is away...well there is no pay. Due to pre op appt, surgery and post op appointments he will only be paid 5 days this month. The cost of illness that iptaas doesn't cover you for. 

Anyways this time next week I will hopefully be tucked up in a big chair with my new foobs. 

Kath  :D

    Excited for you !!!!
    and agree the costs that we don't think about and the loss of income are major things when we embark on this roller coaster ride.... 
    Won't it be nice when you are home and recovered and ready for some annual leave to take a well earned holiday... with Mr P
