And for those of you following my "C" journey . . . here's an update:
Went to see Dr. Smith (cutie pie plastic surgeon) last Thursday. No more tissue expansion procedures. My last one was April 27th.
The tissue expanders need to stay in place for another month and a half and then I will have surgery to remove the expanders and replace them with breast implants. I am sooooo looking forward to getting these out of me!
And in case you're wondering what they feel like, do you or have you ever worn a bra with underwires? Well it feels like a bra with an underwire that goes around the whole bra and filled with fluid until your skin feels like those tight leather pants you wore as a teenager. Yep, that's what it feels like.

As for leather pants, I was never brave enough to wear them, I had too many bulges...lol.

The expanders certainly do not sound comfortable. Hope the month and half speeds by for you. Will be saying prayers for you.

Hi, Keep making those beautiful necklaces and time will fly by...I hope!:)
Well, another beauty...they just keep getting better and better....just like you!
been there, I had an expander on he left side, it was hard as a rock filled to over capacity for implant... Expander was 900 cc implant only 800 cc. My reconstruction was in March, I was so happy to not have that pain anymore...
I love the necklaces!!! I've been wanting to do something with my fragments, just haven't yet... Night have to use you for inspiration
Beautiful necklace, Sherry! Definitely my style! Hang in there, woman. Keep creatively distracting yourself! xoxox
