Since the last post a lot has happened.
I was able to visit with a lot of my friends which I don't get to do a ton. I love it. Its so much fun to hear about the lives of people you haven't seen in a while and to just click with them just like you did in high school. I love it. I've also grown close with my friends who have become mom's like I have, it's been the best. Family and friends make life so great. (even if your husband lives in utah hahaha)
I had my second fill on April 24th and it didn't quite go as smoothly as the first. I decided to go by myself for this fill cause it really wasn't a super big deal the first time. Just go in, stick me with a needle, pump me up, and send me out the door. Psych. This time was actually horrible. Once she filled me up, I got this stabbing pain in the area of my heart. She said it can take a second for your body to get used to but that I should be fine once I sit up. Yeah I sat up and it was not fine. More pain but I wanted to be tough. She just had me take my time. I got dressed really slowly and felt that if I was really careful I could walk to my car without any stabbing pains in my chest. (Why I chose to walk away from the hospital with this feeling..no idea.) On the way to the car I guess I looked a little off cause people kept asking me if I was okay. I said yes, although I wasn't. I just honestly have such a hard time being a bother/being dramatic/asking for help etc. unless its like from my mom (who had my child) or Damon (who is in utah). I finally get to my car and feel like an idiot for attempting to drive. (I didn't want to pay more money to park there, wow I'm so cheap).This really sweet lady told me to drive safe and I really shouldn't have driven at all. Anyways so I get on the road and the pain is not getting better, but actually worse. Like I'm talking child birth pain, a full 10. I called my mom and asked her to look up heart attack symptoms. There was no pulling over on the freeway so I just suffered through it and figured once I was home it would feel fine. I'm so dumb; I arrived home and continued to feel in horrible pain. We call the doctor we just saw and she told us to COME BACK to Seattle. I was so sad cause the car ride was the most painful part. I though time would have helped but she said we needed to come in to take some fluid out. We got back after a tear-filled car ride and the doc said that the fluid make it so the expander and the ribcage were squishing the pectoral muscle causing it to spasm. After they took out some it was a really nice relief and I was cured.
At the end of April, Crew and I went down to visit with Dame and to pick out our home design features. (Oh yeah we got to pick out a lot with Edge homes and get to choose the features of the home cause its not built yet, woo!) It was A BLAST for me. It was the best day ever. I was there for SIX hours picking stuff out. Sorry Edge Homes. We are very blessed.
Just a few days after getting home from that trip we went to San Diego for Chad and Bri's wedding. That was really fun, we love San Diego! We got to go to this yummy Taco Stand, enjoy time in the nice hotel, see where Dame and I took our honeymoon, and spend a day at the San Diego Zoo.
I then had my last fill on May 11th which went a lot better than the previous one, Damon was there to drive me too haha. Dr Said and I chatted for a while and he convinced me to actually go with the Gummy Bear tear drop shape implants. I feel good about that.
We then had a good Mother's Day and then Tanner came home from his mission on May 23rd! Its been exciting. He really wants Crew to love him but Crew is taking his time getting used to him haha.
The surgery is happening on Monday, in four days! I should get a call tomorrow to see what time it's at. I'm just hoping these implants are a lot softer than these dang expanders!
