1) as of wednesday i can pick up my izzy again :) hoooooraaaaay!!!
2) i can drive again :) yipppeeee!
3) all of my stickers, tapes, and bandages are now removed. whew!
also, i got my first "fill-up" today. the doctor says he's guessing i'll need 3 or 4 more depending on how it all settles in my chest/ribs/muscles... then i let them "rest" for 3-6 months, and then do the swap. so, i've got a way to go on the boobs. but, as i said yesterday, i can sleep on my side again, so that helps. i gotta say, the fill up is weird. parts of it hurt, parts of it just felt weird. the whole area is still bruised and battered inside, so the pushing and prodding isn't great. of course, when i told him it hurt, his response was "great! that means the nerves are starting to work again!" somehow i don't see it *quite* the same way ;)
i don't get my CT results till wednesday. will fill you all in on that later... right now, i'm doing the happy dance because i get to take care of my girls again. anyone want to schedule a playdate??

Let's play! :) I wish we lived closer so the girls could grow up together.
I have lots of nerve ending stories, but I probably shouldn't share them here. :) You and me sister, have a lot in common!
Love you!
All my doctors seemed much happier when I told them I felt pain than when I said I didn't feel anything.
They didn't like me manfully ignoring the pinching and poking, either.
Side-sleeping is like Heaven, sometimes. I'm glad you can do that again.
hugging your kids is good too, I suppose ;-)
I would love to play with you and the girls!
Congrats on being somewhat normal again. I am so happy for you.

YAY! Oh, I'm so glad all is going well and you're life is quickly going back to "normal"! We'd love a playdate!
