Mother of the year?!?

I went for another fill yesterday.  I felt great after my last fill, since I had a driver I was able to take my medication prior to my fill.  This time since I felt great, they filled me an additional 5ml to each side.  I still feel great.  The first night is always a little tight feeling.  I feel like I have too small of a bra on, but that is a much better feeling than spasms every couple of minutes! I feel great today.  I am thinking about trying some simple aerobic exercises to start increasing my activity since I have felt like such a lazy bum.  And I can tell with how my jeans fit, I need to start increasing my activity.  I should probably quit eating potato chips also.  My next appointment I will be meeting with my plastic surgeon and discussing how many more of these fills I will need and possibly be scheduling my exchange surgery!! What! What! You heard me I am almost done.  That light at the end of the tunnel is finally visible!

(How cute is this shirt, Luckily I am almost done and don't need it anymore)



(that sounds appealing... doesn't it?)

I met with the reporter from the local newspaper on Tuesday.  That went well, she was super nice and seemed truly interested in the subject.  She was a year younger than me and seemed amazed at the idea of making such a drastic decision at my age.  I guess I never had the chance to think about what I was doing until I did it.  I had a one track focus once I found out about the mutation.  It was all about getting everything in order for surgery.  The reporter asked me if I would recommend this procedure to other patients.  I felt that was one of the toughest questions.  I do not regret my decision at all, but this procedure isn't for everyone. I highly recommend anyone with this gene mutation and breast cancer in their family to look at all options. There is definitely some other less invasive options, but in the end you have to look at the future and decide what you can handle. I decided being told I have cancer wasn't an option. I didn't want to stress every six months when I had my next round of test is this going to be the time.  I am anxious to see the article.  I will let everyone know when it will be published.  I believe they want a picture and the photographer hasn't gotten a hold of me yet.  Maybe I should get a hold of my hair stylist and have her fix me up before hand.  :) 

I don't feel as talkative today, I am glad to not have any complications to talk about.  So maybe I should talk about my mother of the year situation!  I have been using the roll on icy hot on my back after fills.  It does help me relax a little more.  Well, I had it sitting on the end table and didn't think much about it.  Until Cain came in the room and Connor had licked it.  Yes that's right, he licked it.  Poor kid.. he was like "my tongue burns!"  Just picture it sounding more like a drunk with a swollen tongue.  Luckily, it wasn't very much and milk worked wonders to calm down the burning. I did call poison control.... I call poison control over anything, even if I am not sure if my kids put anything in their mouth.  They have to think I am a crazy, neurotic mom!!  Luckily the type of icy hot we have does not contain aspirin in it, otherwise we might have had a little more to be concerned about.  I think he knows not to go near that again.  This just goes to prove kids can get into anything quickly. Always keep medicine locked up and on a high shelf! 

(I have a feeling, I will see this in my future....)
