Fill Me Up!

I got my first fill today. Thank the LORD! I didn’t do another post last week because  I was really irked about the fill and other things. . On Wednesday I went in to get my fill and it didn’t happen. The doctor said my range of motion wasn’t good enough so I had to come back on Wednesday. I didn’t even know there was a stipulation to me getting fills. I was so shocked I didn’t even ask him where my range had to be. So I came home and was pissed for a couple of days. All the doctor said was you need to be more diligent with the stretching exercises. Yah ok!  In any case I go in today and the nurse doesn’t even ask my range of motion but starts to tell me about the fill process.

So it all starts with a magnet. Apparently the port on the expander has a magnet which helps the nurses find the insertion point. After they find the insertion point they clean the area and insert the needle. The nurse has two 60cc syringes.  So she pushed the needle into what’s left of my boob and then emptied the syringe into it (not really the boon but the expander). One woman said it was like a science project! My boobs literally grew in front of my eyes. There was no pain (I’m numb on most of my chest area and on the sides), and only a little blood. She put one band aid on each insertion site and then that was it. I’m sure my lovely clinical explanation was very clear to everyone. Just in case it was over anyone’s head I found a You-tube video. The video is animated so no worries about things being graphic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9B23xnIoTw. I don’t see a big difference since the fill but maybe after the next one or two fills.

 In any case on a side note I love it when ppl tell me I sound good. My response if of course I do! I didn’t have surgery on my throat. If your one of the ppl who has asked me I don’t mind J. I mostly get it from my family. I guess ppl think that just because you had surgery you should be laid up in bed or sound all crappy. I had Cancer but I’m good! People need to remember Cancer is not a death sentence. Notice I said I “had” cancer. My doctors say I’m cancer free so I’m keeping it in the past tense. Even if I lose my hair (Chemo), or feel all crappy I’ll still be me! I’m too cute to be anything but awesome! Thanks for all the support.
