Post Surgery.....again.......

Well.... I had surgery again. I had the Lasissumus flap done. After I woke up and was able to check out the incision I wasn't sure if that is was she did. It looks like a long football shaped skin was taken from my back and patched onto my breast but after talking to her today (I had her explain exactly what she did) I found out that that isn't entirely correct. She took the muscle and skin from under my left shoulder blade and moved it, still attached, under my skin until it reached my front where she had it surface and put in place on my left breast. It really is quite amazing what they can do. I thought I would have this ledge under my left arm to contend with but that is not the case. I have a little "fullness" under my left arm but nothing like I expected. I will need to go back in a couple of weeks to add to the expander. I will need to do this a couple of times before we put the implant back in. I am in no rush. I want this one to heal correctly. Now it is time to heal..... I have noticed some of the emotions are staring to creep in. Just as my GP told me they would. But it is not about me or the cancer, not yet. I still need to mourn for my Dad. I think the hard part is yet to come....
