Pump up the volume

Imagine that you have a hard apparatus placed under your muscle with a tiny little tube that allows saline to be pumped inside to expand it to make it larger.  Well, I went in on Friday for my first expansion and it was neither pleasant nor unpleasant.  It just felt like more pressure was added and my breasts began to take shape.  In fact, I really wasn't planning on going for porn star status but, I figured, if I am going to endure this soreness, I think I've got to go for a nice looking rack...don't you think? 


I've been doing really well staying away from the heavy duty drugs like Diludid and have only been taking Ibuprofen, Valium and an anti-biotic.  You see I hate drugs.  I have seen them ruin people's lives and I refuse to let some synthetic pill take over my mind.  I like natural alternatives and the prune juice took care of the "other" issue at hand from the anaesthesia.  Plus Nurse Bob has been blending fruit drinks with protein additives with a bagel here and there for carbs.  I do have to add that Gayle and Grady sent over the largest tin of See's candies comprised of nuts and chews so my healthy diet has been shot all to hell.  Love you guys for that!
I go back tomorrow for more saline since I am on the fast track program.  Remember I am moving shortly and Dr. Bucky is going on vacation over the holidays.  I am also set up for a lymphatic massage which is supposed to be a natural healing alternative.  My first one takes place on Wednesday and I found someone in Savannah to continue the massages once I get there.  I have almost full mobility of my arms which enables me to wash my now very short hair and take showers.  I think it was because I did not have any lymphnodes taken out.  I still don't feel steady enough to go outside for a walk but that is on my list to do before Tuesday.  I have to set goals :)  So, all in all, it hasn't been even one week and, although I am uncomfortable, I can manage which is encouraging.  I think all of your prayers have greatly helped so thank you all.
