Doc the vote!

Yesterday, I went to see the breast surgeon for my follow up with him. Now that his office has power. He was pleased to see me in good spirits - a.k.a. lots of makeup and jewelry and a smile. My surgery apparently looks awesome. I still think it looks like a muppet, and perhaps if it didn't feel so weird, I would paint it blue and have my very own Grover... I know it will look like a breast eventually. RIGHT???

A few friends came over last night for a visit. It was nice. I was tired, but glad to see them. Clementines and chocolate breasts. Yes! I love fruit! It's really what I crave now and what I've been eating a lot of. Chocolate? Definitely craving. I need comfort food. In the shape of breasts? Amazing! I love my friends!!! I can't wait to eat a chocolate boobie tonight - I think they're dark chocolate and butterscotch. Mmmm.  Nipplicious. 

I actually had a dream last night that I put on a shirt and was bummed that I was missing a nipple. In the dream, I found a nipple shaped thing and put it in. I am pretty sure that the nip-pops inspired that one.

This morning, my daughter and I headed out to the plastic surgeon's office for another visit and fill up. They finally got power as well! A nice, though brisk, walk. I got another 60 cc's of saline in the expander (last week was 100!) and the good news is that no fluid needed to be aspirated. All looked good. For a Muppet breast, I guess. I peeked at it this evening and was pleased to see that it looked less weird. It sure is firm though, I'm going to miss that. Hubs and I talked about maybe discussing keeping them fake looking, since the righty will eventually balance out the lefty. Not talking politics by the way. But we'll see, maybe someday I'll actually want them to look real. I have a bit of time to consider, I suppose. 

Hubby flew back just in time to meet us at our favorite burger place for lunch! Bareburger is amazing. All the meat is organic, free range... basically not full of sh*t. It was much needed. We all enjoyed our burgers and fries - I think we were all craving some comfort food! Then, off to vote. My daughter, at 11 years old, seems to think that she should be able to vote as well. I have to say, for as much as she knows about politics, versus what I heard people saying on line as we waited, I kind of agree. But, those are the rules, and someday she'll get her chance to rock it. I like that she's interested and involved!

Homework. A grapefruit for dinner. That burger really did me in, though she wanted Udon Noodles - 2 bowls! Where the heck does she put it all??? I'll probably get the munchies in a bit - we'll see. 

Oh! Both docs said it's ok for me to work out very gently. Walking (duh!!!) but of course I can now walk on the treadmill at the gym and stay warm. Also, mellow biking at the gym. The PS's office recommends that I not sweat. I'm ok with that. I need to work more on my flexibility. Lifting my arm forward is not as bad as sideways. It scares the heck out of me, but I need to keep stretching that poor pec. The last thing I need is to be all locked up! 

That's all the news that I can think of - other than some Christmas presents starting to be delivered. I knew that recovery time would come in handy! Online shopping! $owch$ It seems I purchased some shoes for myself. I'd like to blame that on the medication, but I really didn't take much. Glad for a good sale. Maybe I can wear my new heels around the house to distract from Muppet Boob!

Hope everyone voted today. I wasn't feeling great and was very uncomfortable - but I wouldn't miss it for anything!
