My Expanders

I had my third and final fill June 30th. I have a total of 330 cc in me. The first week was pretty uncomfortable but I'm doing well now. I am getting used to the size and I can go on slow jogs now.

They also recommended using Scar Guard to help minimize the scarring. I've been brushing that over my incision every night and topping it with extra vitamin E for good measures. So far, so good.

I had the opportunity to play badminton with my nephew while I was in NM. Besides reaching for some birds and feeling a pull, I felt pretty good. Mary Ann has inspired me to start playing tennis again. I may have a ways to go before I can do that but it's on my to do list!

Another thing that I have found difficult to do is to hold a baby. My expanders are pretty firm to the touch so it makes it difficult when I'm trying to hold the baby close to me. It makes me sad because know many women that were diganosed while either pregnant or breast feeding.
