i feel like it is taking a very long time for these 7 weeks to go by, it has been 2 weeks since i got my surgery date. i have been keeping myself busy by working as much as possible. 5 weeks till exchange! i have not had much pain these last few days, every once in a while at work i get a sharp or shooting pain. i have not been taking the pain medication during the day, sometimes on the night before i have to work i will take one to make sure i get enough rest, being at work for 12+ hours is still very hard after a MAJOR surgery. also the past few days i have had lots of itchiness, of course when i scratch it doesnt feel like i am doing a damn thing for it. before i thought that i had some sensation when i would touch i could feel it but i used a qtip to test and i was wrong, none... i think i read or heard that itching is good? itching doesn't feel good at all. its like that spot that never stops itching.. i am not sure. it isnt a big deal to me. i am honestly just ready to have this all behind me.
i was thinking that maybe i should have had my surgery in the winter time so that i could cover up my expanders with many layers, they do not look bad at all its just here in arizona early may we have already had many 90+ degree days. my right foob sits up higher than my left, so if i wear shirts that have spaghetti straps they just look really uneven. i guess i don't really care except i am going home (vegas) to a concert on friday night and i have no idea what to wear.
speaking of the concert... i am going with my sister. i meantioned her in my very first blog, but nothing since, and she has been begging to be featured in my blog this is for you sister! my sister Danielle is 20, she lives in northern arizona and she had her last final in her sophmore year of college today! very proud of you sister. we are a little over 4 years apart and when we were younger we did not get along very well, since we have gotten older, moved out of our parents house. she moved out in aug 2010 & i moved out sept 2010. we talk a few times a week if not more. she has not been tested for the BRCA2 gene mutation yet, but she says that she will at some point. she says she isn't going to do it while she is away at school because she doesn't want to be sad at school if she is positive... hopefully she doesn't wait too long i am sure we will talk about it again soon, maybe after i have my exchange. she is build different than i am, i meantioned that i was a very flat small super small 32A, my sister on the other hand is a big D or DD lol. i am sure she would go smaller if she went for the PBM... enough of the sister talk i hope you are happy sister!
back to the concert, i am driving to her apartment on friday, which is 2 hours away then we are driving home to our parents house 4 hours from her place, we will have all day to find something to wear and get to the concert that starts at 7pm, we are going to see Drake and a number of other "rappers" hoping for an amazing time. i just hope i find something to wear and possibly have a chance to take a nap at some point between getting to vegas shopping and the concert. if not i guess i will live i will be too excited to complain!
well, i really dont have anything more to say, i have to get up early to take the puppy to get neutered before he goes back to live with his other mother until after my exchange surgery, i will miss the little monster but it will only be for about 2 months, shared custody is pretty nice it would probably be a little easier if we lived in the same state... i am honestly hoping to find a job in vegas soon so i can be closer to a few very important people in my life. i guess i had a little more to say. :)
