Friday was my one week follow up after part 1 of my reconstructive surgery.
The day started with Jeremy coming home for the weekend, so he drove me to my appointment.
Actually the day started before lunch when I had a really great job interview that lasted almost two hours. By the time I left, the interviewer offered me the job and told me to start on Monday! Wow! This is just what I needed after being out of work these past few weeks and finally getting cleared by the doctor to go back to work. I guess God knew when it was the right time for me to heal and the right time to go back to work...
After that Jeremy and I drove to my post op appt with Dr. A. When he came in the room, Dr. A. seemed to be in a good mood, which always makes me happy. He looked me over and seems to be happy with how my reconstruction is coming along. So far I haven't had any complications, so I'm thankful for a somewhat smooth recovery. Although I'm disappointed that this round of lipo didn't give me a 29
inch waist, I'm just happy to have one surgery done without any major
complications. Except for all the itching the incisions are doing - which is just driving me nuts. He then took some post op photos and talked with me a little bit about the next surgery and what it will include. I'm really excited about the idea of having the under chin lipo included in the next surgery - just have to make sure I save up the money for it in time. Everything is slowly coming to an end!
So Dr. A. is slowly putting me back together again. I'm slowly getting a figure back and starting to feel normal again! But when I'm 'normal' again, I won't be seeing some of the people that have become so important to me anymore, like Dr. C., Dr. L., Miss C and PA, and of course Dr A. and his scruffy beard and tousled hair...
It's a bittersweet thought.
