Damn you Liver!!!

Were back to numbers again. So this week it was about my liver function. Apparently when I did chemo #2 my liver functions were elevated. With the blood work for I did on Monday for #3 it turns out it’s even higher than last time. So the doctor calls me and is like ohh we have the results. We’ll still give you chemo but were watching your numbers. Umm I only have 1 more chemo but ok. She explains that one of the two chemo drugs I take is known to affect the live.l Ohh look another side effect I wasn’t aware of. So then I we go thru all my meds that I can no longer take. Then I get this pause and ohh you don’t drink right. An d I’m like not right now (even tho I reserve the right to drink on occasion). She proceeds to tell me Io cant drink. Then say not even a glass of wine. OHH GREAT! It’s not like I didn’t figure that was coming but I didn’t want it said out loud. Once your not allowed to do something that’s when you really want it.

In any case I went to work last week and that was fun. I haven't physically been back in the office since I had surgery so it’s almost 3 months. It definitely doesn’t feel that long. Time is seriously flying by. I went into the plastic surgeons office today and the nurse is like were supposed to fill you today. I’m like yes. She says ohh I hope there’s room. We go into the exam room and she’s like let me get the doctor so he can take a look. She comes back in and proceeds to touch up the expander's and say ohh yah there’s space and the skin is soft. By the time the doctor comes in she’s filled the right one and were on the left one. He comes in and feels up the right one and said oh they look good and she skin is soft. He says one more expansion. So whoopie to that!! Then he asks about chemo and my last day is June 5^th! So he says looks like early August for my exchange (taking out expander and putting in the silicone gel implants). The proceeds to give me a high five..which I of course use the wrong hand (the hand on the side where the expander is being filled). I was like ohh oooops. So I found a picture online of the filler needles. The marker which is kind of ½ in the picture, lets you know the size.

So all in all I have 1 more expansion left. One more chemo (I’m not counting tomorrow’s because it’s almost here). Two more surgeries. So yayyyy!
