Latest and Greatest

I met with Dr. Hayden last week. At least I think it was last week. The days all seem to blur together for some reason. I have been busy, busy, busy.  I have to call the coordinator tomorrow to find out when I can schedule my surgery.  This surgery will take out the expander, put in the implant and then reduce and lift my left breast to match the right plus she will be taking out whatever fat I have left in my belly to graft it to the left breast for a more natural look and feel.  Bad news is that I will have to have the skin reduction (a result of the twins) at a later date. Barbara says I will look and feel incredible after this next surgery though and I should recover much easier. She said I need to prepare for the anxiety that comes with undergoing surgery again in the hospital, apparently most people don't anticipate that.

No nanny today. For the first time ever since I've had Leo. I'm spoiled, okay? It worked out actually. I DID IT! It may sound  ridiculous but I am kicking ass and taking names. Of course, I had ZERO time to myself but it was totally doable. I even played on swings outside with kids, got Abby to school, fed all them all three meals, went to trader joe's, went to Armstrong Garden Center, took both kids and both dogs for a walk, and did a little home organizing and decorating. You'd think I took Adderall but I didn't!! I'm just SUPER tired and didn't get to make or return any phone calls or emails...

Need to remember that Leo got his 7th tooth January 15th. Will have to extrapolate backwards to figure out when he got his first six. Oy, his poor baby book isn't going to have too much info in it. Perhaps he will understand later in life that it wasn't the easiest of years and will forgive me.

Life is going back to normal at such a rapid speed. I can't stop it. It's like jumping right back into the fire. I'm trying to pick up where I "left off" on things before my diagnosis but holy hell, it's really too much. Will talk about that more later.

Good night!
