Not only is my hair coming back thicker, but I'm starving for the good foods I used to love! Reconstruction has been....interesting? Feels like I've been working out my chest muscles; it hurts to push, pull, and lift. I really like my surgeon and that makes a huge difference. Every week I'll go in for her to increase the expander until I feel comfortable.
As I work with the doctor and spend time on recuperating, I realize that this is IT...the recovery! So exciting. It reminds me of when the kids were little -- I used to tell them "nothing good comes without a some hard work". Margot, at 7 years old, said "that doesn't make sense -- rice krispy treats are easy to make and they are really good!". Another time I repeated the golden nugget of wisdom and while Margot was rolling her eyes, 5 year old Mitch said "that's true cuz it takes me a lotta tries to hit the ball where I want it to go!". LOL.
