Hey Everyone,
I've been super busy with work, so I haven't been on much in the past few weeks. Anyway, those of you who frequent the daily exercise thread know I am the exercise tape queen! I have way too many. I finally have gotten around to scaling back my collection and before carting them off to Goodwill, and am offering them as a gift to any of you who may be interested. The following is a list of the titles and instructors. If you would like a couple of them, just sent me an email and I will pop them in the mail to you. Do not worry about postage or anything, I am just glad to be able to share. They have helped me come a "LONG" way in my personal fitness and I am sure they can do the same for someone else. Hugs, Tracy

I know for a fact this isn't the last surgery. Hopefully last one will be to swap out my expander implants for final ones. But then if I chose to get nipples and areolas made that would be another one... ARGH! It never ends, eh?
Thanks for the kind thoughts - they are always appreciated!

Kathy dear - you really must quit scaring your doctors like this. lol
Wow, what an eventful two years you've had girl. You certainly keep everyone on their toes.
Perhaps you should be video taping this and turn it in to a soap opra show, at least get paid for going through all of it. hahaha

Oh I'll be getting bigger boobs but this was insane! It not only looked bad but it kept expanding putting more pressure on. Ugh.
What I have in now are expanders... they are like breast lapbands. They have a port you can put saline in to expand. It is to stretch the skin since they remove some during the mastectomy and so that when you get the real implant the skin will appropriately cover it. I have my first "fill" on 4/2. I'm not looking to go large... just appropriate to my body size - whatever that is. Guess I'll know when I'm there. They'll do fills every couple of weeks til I have the volume I want. Then yes, one more surgery to swap these out forimplants but that is supposedly an easy surgery with recovery.
Thanks for the prayers! Seems I need lots of 'em.
Hugs, Kathy
