The kids start school next Monday!
I am excited, they are not.
Well maybe Alyssa.
Gage will be an only child for 2 hours and 35 minutes, 5 days a week.
Maybe I will get caught up on some things-
probably not.
I am doing pretty good.
Surgery went really well and healing has gone great.
I did not realize how involved the removal of the standing cones,
points on my hips, was going to be.
Between fixing those and part of the left breast,
I came out of surgery with 18 new inches of incisions.
And for the record - compression garments suck!
All of them.
The one on my arm is tolerable, I have had a lot of swelling in my arm from surgery,
travel, bug bites and a run in with a metal shed corner that scratched my upper arm.
Crazy how all those things can affect my arm so much.
I am also wearing one that goes from rib cage down to my calfs.
It is super awesome in this 100 degree summer heat.
Overall, I am still sore and tired.
Always tired.
I feel like it takes forever to regain any strength and energy.
Actually I still don't feel like I have any strength or energy since this all
started over 3 years ago.
My surgeon wants to do one more surgery closer to the end of the year,
I told him I would think about it.
Not sure if my body can take any more.
It would be great though - give everything a nice finished
look with almost perfect symmetry.
I love my new nose - and I will love it even more when the
rest of the swelling goes down over the next 3-6 month.
Compared to what I remember of the issues and pain from
breaking it 18 years ago, this time was a sinch.
I feel a little sad that I have missed out on some fun things this summer -
zip lining, water skiing and rappelling -
But next summer,
Will be awesome!
