Yes They're Fake. My Real Ones Tried To Kill Me

It's been a hot minute since I've written a post. Partly because I've been lazy and partly because I've  been posting a lot on my actual FB page.
So yesterday I had my second surgery to swap out my expander for my implant on the left, plus fat grafting. I am pretty sore today, but I am glad it's done. Now they are the same size and actually look like nice boobs (minus the bruising). Within the next couple of weeks, the swelling and bruising should go away and I'll be comfortable wearing low cut shirts. The surgery was pretty easy. I came home and slept all day and took vicodin.
The next step is nipple reconstruction, which I technically don't have to be put out for. But we will see how brave I am feeling.
I never in a million years thought I'd have implants but here we are and I am kinda into them. They are for sure  nicer than my old ugly ones.
Fake boobs are the new black

It's A Hard Knocker Life

Had a fill today and now my knockers are the same size. I may need one more fill to stretch the skin so they have more to work with during surgery. It's nice to look down and finally be somewhat comfortable with what I see. For 2 years they've been uneven and mismatched. The one that gets filled is harder than the one with the implant so it feels interesting but I'll take interesting over painful. Can't wait til I can wear a bathing suit and not be self conscious!

A Little Setback

I went to see the nurse at the plastic surgeon's office today for a fill, like I do every week and there was a tiiiiiiiny hole where one of the stitches came out. Since I am at high risk for infection, they didn't want to take any chances, so she removed 50ccs of saline from my expander :( and then I had to have a really quick and painless procedure where they cut the skin around the hole and stitch it back up. I was crying in the room because this is a setback. Not only do I now need to wait 3 weeks to get another fill, but they took 50ccs out so I won't be done as soon as I thought. The funny part of all this is that we walked across the street to eat lunch and my surgeon was already over there eating hahaha.

Can You Pay My Fills, Can You Pay My Automofills

Had my 4th fill today. They only did 25 ccs instead of 50 ccs because they want to be extra careful since I was previously radiated. That's fine though.  I will need 2-3 more and then I am done. My boobs pretty much look the same size now. I thought it was going to take months and it's only been 6 weeks!! I still don't feel the fill, thankfully.

Also, I was going to go see Gone Girl today for $5 up at the Sundance Theater but a) it's raining and I don't feel like leaving the house again and b) I forgot that I hate going to movies. I have a weird illness where every single person in a movie theater annoys me. Also the smell of popcorn in a movie theater makes me nauseous. John is a lucky, lucky man.

Happy Tuesday!

The Turducken of Desserts

I have been wanting to make a form of this dessert for some time. I saw it on the Food Network. It's a pie baked inside of a cake!! You can do any flavor pie and any flavor cake. I decided to do a pumpkin pie inside of a chocolate cake for Thanksgiving. It's pretty easy. You need 2 boxes of cake mix and a store bought pie. Take a large springform pan and spray it with baking spray and wrap the outside with tin foil in case it leaks. Then put about an inch of cake batter in the pan. Then drop the pie in the middle and cover it with the rest of the cake batter. Put it in the oven at 350 til done. Mine took about 2 hours. It takes awhile because it's a lot of batter but it's worth it. I frosted it with chocolate frosting and added some whip cream after it was sliced.

3 Fills High And Rising

I had my 3rd fill today and like the other 2, I did not feel it. My boobs are almost the same size now and looking good!!!

Boob Fil A

Had my second fill today and it was just as easy and painless as the first one. She was able to put 50 ccs in this time since I did so well with 50 last time. Right now my left boob is at 160 ccs and my right is at 290, and if you are a star mathematician like I am, then you will know I only need 3 more fills to match the right one (if she does 50 each time). My second surgery to swap out the implant will most likely be in March and I will be able to go back to work in January. New knockers, here I come!
