Another surgery
Unfortunately I had to have another surgery yesterday. My scar broke open again and this time my Dr. decided to try another procedure to close it up. He went in and removed the implant and revised the capsule that the implant sits in. The plan was to relieve the pressure on the skin. Apparently the radiation treatment has left the skin on my chest paper thin. Any pulling tends to open the scar back up. We are hopeful that this works and allows the skin to heal properly. If not the next step will be to remove skin from my back and move it around to my chest. Hopefully this works and we can avoid another surgery. I am a little more sore from this surgery as I think he was a little more aggressive with the chest muscle. The kids are just as ticked off about this as I am. Alex commented "can't they figure this out and get it right!" We are going on vacation next week and we are not rescheduling! Now I am on two different antibiotics along with all my other medication. It is ridiculous the amount of pills I take daily. Oh well not much I can do to change it right now. The kids are enjoying summer. Alex is lifeguarding a few days per week. Regan works at Haynes 4 days a week and Noah plays basketball in a summer league. We still aren't done with the kitchen renovation. My surgery may push it back a few more weeks. We have the tile done for the backsplash on two walls. It is looking good! Have a wonderful Father's Day everyone!

Dang!! So sorry to hear about your surgery. I know that Kathy Jones had a hard time as well with numerous surgeries with her implants. It can be very frustrating. Hopefully this time you'll be better than new! I hope you have a wonderful vacation despite all of this. R & R is just what you need. A new renovated kitchen is good therapy too! LOve ya!
So sorry to hear this, Dawn! What a bummer to the summer, but I hope your vacation is just what you need!!!
