A great article and an update...

This is a fabulous read about the embarrassment of cancer.  

Everything is sort of on the fence here.  One of my reconstructed breasts has fallen, meaning I have broken through the stitches holding it in place.

I will need another surgery to correct it.

*sigh*

My back is not awesome either.  Hopefully will get a MRI next week and another ablation.

Soon it will be a year since my mastectomy.  A YEAR.  I am on the home stretch, but it still feels never ending.

Steady on...

I got a glimpse of the scars this week, but just that.  I don't think my PA wants me to obsess over the scars.  I didn't look at them in the mirror so I don't know about symmetry yet.  I was told they are behaving well.  I certainly hope so.  Sleeping on a slope is not a lot of fun.  Neither is sleeping in the hospital bra that I am chained to 24/7.  It's like a chastity belt for your boobs.

I am thinking more and more of the book and hopefully gallery show.  Writing the book in my head.  Some of that has to get on an actual page.
