Terrific Lady Day

Tis the season for baking, shopping and being oh so busy!  Sorry for the lack of updates.  Quick rundown: last week I met with a group of ladies who had all been diagnosed at 40 or younger.  Quite the difference from the group I've been meeting with through United.  We had a great discussion and it was so nice to commiserate with ladies my age.

2013 has put my family through the ringer, so I've been thinking about how I plan to start fresh in a few weeks.  Step two: lopping off and donating my hair (step one was joining a gym, which I'm loving so far!).  You heard it here first - the mane is now a little bob :)  I went into the cut feeling ready for it, keeping in mind how lucky I was to not go through chemo, unlike a lot of other women.  I hope my hair can make a nice wig for one of those ladies!  

Total donated: 8" :)

I had a quick appointment with my plastic surgeon after my hair cut to check in on my new boobs.  All is going well on the healing front - swelling is pretty much gone (we'll check in again in 6 weeks), and the incisions are looking great. She addressed the pain I'm having in my arm and thinks it should go away eventually. I'll just keep doing my stretches and hopefully it'll be soon!
