Drain tube pulled.....spacer filled !



Nov. 27th   Hooray… got my second drain tube out. It had become pretty uncomfortable about 1 week ago, I felt like my body was wanting to reject it. Man…… that felt so good to get it out. 
I am having reconstruction right away, so right now I have what they call a spacer in my breast area. They fill it with more fluid every few weeks to stretch my skin slowly and get it ready for the implant. The Dr. added some fluid today and It feels so tight. Like a big rock sitting under my skin. It hurts with certain arm movement. But tolerable with Tylenol. 

 I still cannot get back to my yoga and treadmill. 
My Dr. says to wait another 10 days for the treadmill and yoga. He wants everything to heal before I start jostling my body too much. I do however do my yoga breathing... and some light stretches. I actually miss being able to exercise. I know how important it will be for me to continue the exercise, so I am anxious to get started again. Tomorrow is my Doctor appointment with the oncologist and decide my next treatment. I have been doing so much reading and I have a ton of questions for him. I sure hope he likes questions……???
