What was supposed to be a 5 day stay in hospital turned into 3 weeks due to post op complications. After 5 surgeries, thankfully this poor battered body of Mine battled on & hung in there 🙏So now, I'm finally on my way home with tissue expanders in & the hope that each day I'll heal even more ✨I've sobbed , I've felt the most excruciating pain to date, I've received the most humbling amount of support from my amazing family & friends, I've had a hospital room that could have been mistaken for a florist, and I've been looked after by such beautiful caring nurses, but now it's time to head home and look forward to Brighter days ahead 🌈☀️🌻🙌 #homebound #happydays #doublemastectomy #breastcancernomore #breastcancer #bitchtit #bitchtitblog #brca #brca1 #gratitude If this isn't motivation then I don't know what is. My heart could burst with the excessive amount of love I have for my 3 little darlings who I miss ridiculously #proudaunty #getwellsoon #mycheersquad #breastcancernomore #breastcancer #doublemastectomy #bitchtit #bitchtitblog Everyday I'm reminded how bloody lucky I am to have boobs, post double mastectomy . Exhibit A. After having a double mastectomy with immediate reconstruction with implants , I had numerous complications resulting in the implants being removed. Then on Monday, I was faced with the real possibility that I wouldn't be able to even have tissue expanders put in. That would have meant I would have had skin flaps as breasts for 3-6months until tissue expanders could have been put in to then re- stretch the skin in order to accommodate implants in another 3-6 months time. So Right now, I have tissue expanders that are like deflated balloons and I've never been more appreciative! But trying not to count my chickens until they've hatched 🐣 as I'm not in the clear just yet! Over time these tissue expander breasts of mine will be injected (inflated) with saline to reach the breast size I desire. Then in about 3-6 months they will be removed and replaced with silicone implants hopefully ending this ordeal. But seriously, I'm so glad I live in such an medically advanced era where this is even possible #breastcancer #tissueexpanders #bitchtit #bitchtitblog #doublemastectomy #breastcancerwarrior #brca1 #brca #practicegratitude Instead of being attached to two IV poles with 100 of chords and tubes, I'm now cruising around with just one surgical drain on each side! Absolute Freedom 🙌 Now it's time to heal and hope I can get out of here with no further complications! #surgicaldrains #doublemastectomy #bitchtitblog #bitchtit #tissueexpanders #breastcancer #brca #brca1 Today I'm FREE from these VeroFlo Vac Therapy Machines , two IV poles & 100 chords. Yesterday, my white blood cells had increased from booster shots, meaning I was able to have the Vac therapy foam replaced with tissue expanders which will be temporary breasts for next 3-6months until implants can be inserted. Yesterday I understood the meaning of absolute joy ✨ I cried so much when I got the go ahead to get the expanders ! It's been 2 weeks of an intense physical and mental pain & pressure so to say I felt relief was an understatement. The alternative was to walk away with nothing so I feel so happy my body shifted gear for me! What an amazing feeling it is to walk by myself to the bathroom or around the ward detached from these poles! And to wake having breasts! Now it's time for healing & recovery with a further 5 days in hospital without any further complications please 🙏!!! I think 5 surgeries in 14 days is enough for now. #tissueexpanders #doublemastectomy #bitchtit #bitchtitblog #breastcancer #healingpower #positivevibes #brca #brca1 I might be breast-less, but at least I've got a mad set of eyebrows, eyelashes and 0.5cm worth of hair !! 💃🏻 #feelingfeminineagain #8weekspostchemo #hairgrowth #hairloss #chemo #chemotherapy #doublemastectomy #breastcancer #cancerfree
