Breast Reconstruction Part 1 Complete

It has been a long time since my last post, so what have I been up to? For one thing, getting rid of my old job and moving on to something new (a very good thing for me from a stress level perspective). I've also taken the first step of breast reconstruction and frankly I was just enjoying a more than healthy dose of feeling sorry for myself. It was very hard to be broken for so long, and see real progress and then be broken again. Especially since I didn't feel I was quite prepared for the hit my body took from what was a straightforward procedure compared to everything else I'd been through. Frankly, this surgery and recovery has had a disproportionately negative impact on me compared to what I was expecting. But that was yesterday, and I will keep looking forward and moving forward.

One year ago...

I had a bilateral mastectomy. It is still not easy to look at the scars, but I am here and I am still able to enjoy time with my loved ones. Today I am taking the day off to be with my special guy - G. I thought I'd mix it up with a little tag cloud of what its been like in the year since.
