I have felt like I was in my 30's for a long time, so actually being here feels right. I have been very fortunate the last 30 years, and I'm looking forward to the next 30.
I had a great time celebrating my birthday this week. Sunday I had 99 friends and family members show up to the lake to help me ring in my 30th year. I felt sooo loved! It was great to see everybody, and to see all of the DWBH shirts! Sadly, on Tuesday Chris went back to work :-( But Wednesday (my actual bday) I got a mani/pedi, and went out to a nice dinner. I had to get a dark color on my nails, rather than the hot pink I wanted, because they are still in such bad shape. But that's ok, the sparkly dark gray is still a nice color, too. Friday was spent at Dr. West's office getting expanded 50 more cc's. We tried for 75, but it was just too much pressure. The left side got 75, then the right could only do 50 so they took 25 out of the left. When it came out, the fluid was blue! I wasn't expecting that. I guess they put dye into them at the time of surgery so they can tell if you have a leak. Anyway, that brings me to 425 on both sides, so far. I think I'm at the size I want to stay. But, that means I still need one more fill before I'm complete, because I am supposed to be at 50 MORE than the size I want to be, in order to fully stretch the skin. I may push that appointment to sooner rather than later, because I need to get started on radiation soon. But even a valium couldn't help me sleep last night because I am so uncomfortable. Getting expanded sucks!! I have felt like I was in my 30's for a long time, so actually being here feels right. I have been very fortunate the last 30 years, and I'm looking forward to the next 30.
