I should go to bed

This will be quick, and mostly pointless. All is well. I had my last "filling" today. During my surgery, the plastic surgeon put what they call expanders in, under my pec's. They do this to stretch the skin to make it ready for the actual implant. They filled them with saline during surgery, then one week post op, they filled me again. Surprisingly, this didn't hurt, but it's after the fact that it becomes sore and uncomfortable, It stretches the heck out of the muscles, not to mention the skin. My range of motion gets set back a bit after a filling. I just had another "filling" on Tuesday, after which I decided I was all done with this exercise. My doc seemed to think I should have another one today, but I was able to convince him otherwise! I don't have to see him again until February.

I also had an echo cardiogram today. It's essentially an ultrasound for your heart. In this case, it's to make sure all is well and healthy before chemo and to also have a baseline for comparison should it be needed. The very nice tech told me I had a very beautiful, photogenic heart. I think that means it went well.

I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and is looking forward to Christmas and a HEALTHY New Year.

I'll let you know how Tuesday goes! Wish me luck and a strong stomach!
