Reconstruction Starts This Wednesday

If anyone wants to communicate with me and this blog is not easy to add comments to - my email address is kellyconboy@yahoo.com

I had my lastest visit with the Plastic Surgeon on Friday - all stitches are removed and I am ready to start my first filling of my expanders this Wednesday. I am told that this should not be a painful process. I am not sure how long this part of the process will take. But once I am filled to my original size before surgery, I can then undergo the outpatient procedure of replacing my expanders with my new saline-based implants. I am looking forward to getting passed that point! My chest no longer feels like I have a board across it. But I am having some shooting pains and mostly soreness from the tight sports bras I have been wearing.

I started work a week ago. I started on Monday and have worked full days each day except Friday -which was Veteran's Day. Thank you to any Veteran's or members of our Armed Forces. I and my family are so greatful to you for all you do! You have helped to make our country the greatest in the world! May God bless you in all you do!

I did spend time with my horses this weekend. It was mostly to get their hooves worked on - but also to see them and interact. Thanks to my husband for holding them. Chunky did extremely well. Poor Spice was so tenderfooted - which is why I had the farrier put shoes on all her hooves. Her hooves are so soft and her back hooves have been causing her much pain in the last few weeks. I'm hoping having the shoes will help keep her feet in good condition. Thanks to Donna, her feet were in great shape for shoes!

I'll keep you all posted as to how things go on Wednesday. My next visits are plastic surgeon, oncologist and dentist. Thanks to God and all the prayers that chemotherapy is not a part of my treatment! I am so thankful for that. I do pray for all the women and men that have to endure it. And I pray for a cure that will help anyone facing cancer not to have to endure those treatments!

God has been keeping me encouraged during my daily Bible readings and notes and calls from friends and family. The weepys are pretty much gone and my hot and cold flashes are lessening by the day.

Have a great week! Love and God's Blessings to you All!

Kelly
