Surgery went ok yesterday. The doctor had to remove some dead skin and do some “cleaning up” which made for a much longer procedure than anticipated but implant and expander are in. I was very sore on the way home but thankfully the pain meds worked once I took them. I didn’t sleep much since…
Back to the Operating Table
Instead of being back at work I am back on the operating table. I’m frustrated but staying as positive as I can. I was finally feeling ready to go back to work. I have more energy. I could go out and do things and not feel completely wiped out after that. I was mentally ready….
Getting into the Halloween Spirit
Last week I posted how I wasn’t excited about October this year as this was my last normal month last year before my life got turned upside down. Even though November marks a year since my diagnosis, there’s definitely PTSD going on and I had a hard start to my favorite month of the year….

Not a game, not a game. We talking about practice.” Anyway I bring this up because let’s just say…

The Postseason
As you all know Chris and I are diehard Phillies fans. So of course we were so excited that the Phillies clinched their first playoff spot since 2011 on Monday night. While some will argue they wouldn’t get in without the third wild card spot, that doesn’t matter. In is in and anything can happen…
