State of the BFFN
Nov. 12th, 2008 06:51 pmI had to stay home from work today on the grounds that my sleeping is once more not so much. Woke up around 3am and was still awake by 6, which was just generally made of Meh. So I stumbled downstairs and emailed in.
The problem seems to be at the moment that my back and side are giving me massive shit. I went in for another saline fill on Tuesday morning, and Dr. McMillan said then that she thinks that the muscle layers back there are finally readhering--which I suppose is a good thing. Only right now it means that the entire right side of my back, from about the base of my neck down to my hip, is one big massive block of Suck.
So I went in for an emergency massage this afternoon, which helped a lot, and had chiro right after, which also helped. It hurt like hell, but under the circumstances that was warranted. I will be doing this again on Saturday morning to see if we can continue to shake all this out.
On a brighter note at least Dr. McMillan thinks I need only a few more fills to get to where we need to get to make the right side match up with the left, size-wise. So we'll maybe go until the end of the month with this. Then from what they tell me, they'll have me just chill for about six weeks while everything heals and readjusts, and then they'll do the final procedure to put in the implant.
Which therefore lays down a target date for the final phase of Operation Rebuild Anna's Boobies as February 2009. Hopefully my job situation won't be too weird at that point and I'll actually be able to have that procedure and whatever recovery time is required without worrying about unpaid time off.
