Not this kind of juicy...<\/p><\/div>\n

Literally… My body is one of the special ones that just doesn’t know when to quit. My drain output was just low enough for a few days to get them out (there is a fine balance in leaving them in too long and risking infection and taking them out too soon and being juicy). I have a “seroma” which is a ball of fluid in my left breast. This is common, but mine went from a little build up to ridiculously uncomfortable and has pretty much cut down my activity levels this week (and made me pretty bummed, which makes my husband bummed, so this makes a lot of bums at my house). Each time I get up or move I can feel this big ball of fluid swing around inside of me when I have it bandaged (which is a really disturbing feeling). If I don’t have it bandaged it gets really uncomfortable and swollen around the surgery sites.<\/p>\n

My right side has continued to leak out of the main surgical incision, today it has been going on long after my shower (usually it was just a little bit when wet). Mike has me on lockdown for the next few days. I have to sit on my butt and heal, which means I will probably get a few books done on the Kindle. Being active makes you juicier, and could be causing the problems with my incision.<\/p>\n

The previous two weeks of miracle healing decided undo themselves, I am not sure if it is because I have been back in the office at my desk or if I am just a lucky soul that has a body that battles the healing process. My desk was causing me some issues due to the angle I needed to hold my arm at to type, so we did put in a new keyboard set up. We will see what things look like next week to determine whether or not I live the next bit as a virtual or physical employee (I am much more exciting in person I swear).<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I go in to see the plastic surgeon (after 3 phone calls to the nurses to make sure I wasn’t going to completely explode), I am ready for the doctor to resolve this issue one way or another. The nurse told me is that one possibility is that drains go back in (because I have been so uncomfortable), which makes me very unexcited… he may just aspirate it with a needle. I am hoping he just glues back up the other side and calls it good.Whether or not I start chemo depends on how healed I am. If I have drains in or excess fluids chemo will be delayed (chemo tends to not help your body heal… just one of those things). I really want to get chemo going, because the sooner it starts, the sooner it stops. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

My guess is that I will probably not have my first expansion tomorrow, but I guess it is all up to the doctor, I just like to speculate A LOT. I should have more details tomorrow, but at the moment there is just a lot of speculation going on. Would be way cooler if I at least tasted like oranges (lemon juice is a little too bitter)..<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
