i realize that any readers i did have, have probably given up on me by now, but thought i'd add in the latest news just in case...
i had the next step in my reconstruction on wednesday. dr. h replaced my leaking expander with a new expander (on the right side) and placed a new expander on the left side. my concave boob is now at about a half "a" cup. better than it was :) kind of like a fat man boob. the goal is that by the time we go to florida in april my boobs will be the same size so i don't have to worry about wearing my prosthesis in a swimming suit.
this was just about the worst time i could have picked to have surgery as far as school goes, but i decided that having 2 equal boobs in florida was more important. call me selfish. it means that the week i go back to school, report cards will be due. if i'm allowed to go back in 2 weeks. if i have to take 3 weeks off, then they'll be due while i'm at home. oh well. we'll figure it out, i'm sure.
in any event, i'm home from the hospital, and get to see my girls tonight :) yay! they've been with my dad and jill since wednesday when i had surgery. i'm back to the 10 pound weight restriction, and no driving, so i cannot take care of my girls again. blurg. they're going to be home tonight, and then they're going to go to my mom's tomorrow night. we'll see what happens sunday- probably back to gpa grob's. not sure yet. my girls are both *really* bad at getting ready in the morning and tend to require a lot of strength on my part which i am just not able to do at the moment. wrestling a 2 year old (yes- she turns 2 on sunday!) into clothing that she doesn't want to wear is exhausting when you have full strength and 2 arms... i have neither right now. and then there's symma. we won't even go there...
so, i'll be home for the next couple of weeks, and will be loading pics on my flickr page, and hopefully making my first digital scrapbook. that is my goal. i made a scrapbook for symma of her first year, and haven't done anything for poor izzy, so i'm hoping to do a digital book for her while i'm off. wish me luck!! i've got no clue how to even start, so this should be interesting... maybe i'd be better off doing a traditional scrapbook- at least in know how to do that! we'll see... anyway, look to flickr for updated pics soon- i haven't updated since halloween- crazy! and i'll try to keep this up to date while i'm home, too :)

I am still here and have not given up on you. Yeah for surgery! And, don't feel selfish, it makes perfect sense and all of the school stuff will get figured out. School can't be your entire life! Your family should be! I am looking forward to seeing pictures, but i admit I will need the link again when you are ready for that. Hugs and Kisses!
