Surgery #2

Yesterday I had what will hopefully be my last surgery for a long time. My mother and Jonathan took me to the hospital for outpatient surgery. I was so glad to be a patient for only a few hours as opposed to overnight like I was last surgery.

In this surgery my tissue expander was replaced with a silicone implant. The tissue expander is made to be firm and reistant so that it can serve the purpose its name describes. I am glad to be rid of it. I won't know what the final work will look like until next week when I have my check up and they remove the bandages.

This surgery has been far less painful than my last one. I can walk around with relatively little pain and have much more use of my arm than I did before. All in all I expect to have a quick recovery!

In the mean time I am relaxing at home with my mother. I have been getting plenty of sleep and enjoying the care of Jonathan, my mother and my friends. Thank you everyone for your prayers, I am so fortunate to have God and all of you supporting me.
