Can you say "Cantaloupe"?

I got my breast expanders filled. I would give you the cc amount, but that would be meaningless to most people, so....
......go to the grocery store and pick up a medium size cantaloupe, cut that in half. When you cut it, make sure you are off just a little (because they aren't even), hold those up to your chest. You want half of the cantaloupe under your armpit and a two inch gap in the middle of your cantaloupes. Real SEXY huh? Now... try and get your Speedo on and go to the pool and see if anybody notices that your breasts just doubled. I still don't understand why women would purposely do this to themselves. Could somebody please explain?

Hopefully I will only have one more expansion, then I can go in and get the permanent implants. I have to wait for the skin to stretch, so it won't be until I will February or March. Then I can get my face taken care of, because I am afraid I will probably fall on my face if he fills them much more.

I am going to think positive... when I get done, my speed in the pool should double. They are kind of like a built in "drag suit".

Okay... I am off to go swimming!

Back to Palm Springs

I had a follow up visit with the oncologist in Palm Springs yesterday. It went well. My labs are back to normal. The results of the tumor markers weren't back, so that is the only thing that I don't know yet. I have to go back in March for a MRI and check up.

I really haven't felt like writing.... it seems too depressing, so I don't do it... sorry.

Updates:
  • I have been staying busy with the swim team
  • My hair is growing like crazy ( a little faster than normal it seems)
  • My eyebrows need plucking and my eyelashes are back
  • I hate hot flashes - It is kind of like being locked in a dry sauna with no way out.
  • I think I got used to the bald look... and no hair drying! I think if I keep on coaching 5 year olds, I won't have to worry about having any hair.
  • I am finally working on something for myself.... check it out! www.swimmerdecals.com

That is all... Merry Christmas!
