Eat Ya Heart Out Pamela Anderson
Had another visit to plastic surgeon's rooms today. Still have to keep my blessed drain in, it's been 3 weeks now and I'm over it. Luckily he has said that the District Nurse can remove it on Thursday so I won't still have it at Christmas. He removed the tape covering my scar and I was amazed how the scar is not as visible as I thought. I had the first inflation with the saline today. I think I have to have about three all up. He put a butterfly shaped piece of plastic with a needle in the middle through my breast skin and into the port of the skin expander bag, then he filled it up with 60mls of saline. What a weird thing!! One side of me looks like Pamela Anderson at puberty, the other side doesn't. The new fake breast feels slightly firmer than the norm but it is also very round. I never knew about the wonders of modern medical science until all this happened to me; it is fascinating!
