Reconstruction Booked (DIEP flap)
Hello my friends
It's a date!!! I'm booked in for my reconstruction on November 10th. It's been 6 weeks now since I finished chemo and I have had some big decisions to make.

Hi Merylee
Good to hear from you. You sound like you are doing really well, good on you for joining the gym. Ohh how I long for a good night sleep without the tissue expander bothering me every time I try and roll over.
You should have called yourself skinnysam (LOL). For once I am grateful for the spare tyre I have around the middle. No dieting for me at the moment, I obviously need to stay healthy but for the next few weeks I don't have to feel guilty if I have a 'pig out' now and then because I actually need the fat that's on my tummy. After I recover I will be on a big fitness kick - at the moment it's just walking for me. I can't wait to get back into swimming and pilates, I'd also like to take up yoga and go on some family bike rides. We have a great bike track nearby that goes into Docklands, my kids love it.
Looking forward to the Circle and catching up. How is Jo going after finishing chemo?
