Here is what I posted on Facebook:  Update…..saw the plastic surgeon. Two drains, out of 4 removed. Doc said I was looking and doing great. I am advanced ahead of schedule. Most patients have around 50cc of fluid filled in their expanders right after mastectomy, but I had 250cc which is why I made a comment earlier that I had a cleavage and had some boobies. I am having some fluid building up in the bottom area outside the expander. I am to wear a Cami and put gentle presser in the area. I see Plastics again this Friday. Tomorrow I see breast surgeon to go over path report of my cancer in breast tissue. I am sore and bruised up really good, but moving around and have most of my arm movements. I am thanking God and all of you for your prayers. I couldn’t have done any of this without you all and your prayers. THANK YOU!!!

Ray drove me to the plastic surgeon office visit.  The doctor said I looked great and she was very pleased and happy with her work.  I was healing ahead of schedule she was thrilled about my arm movements and the range of motion in my shoulders.  I have walked with my arms almost crossed, with my right hand grasping my left wrist, and placing my hands under my expanders.  In fact, I have walked like this ALL THE TIME!  I think I am in protection mode and protecting my chest. The pulling of the 2 drains was not bad at all.  Didn’t hurt much, but then I was still on pain killers.  The doctor asked if I needed any more pain meds filled and I was shocked because I still had half a bottle left.  Doctor also wanted me to wear a loose fitting cami.  The cami will be put gentle pressure on my expanders to help with swelling by putting light gentle pressure to reduce fluid buildup.  Doctor did not want anything constricting my skin and I am to call immediately if my skin tissue was turning blue or purple.  My next visit will be Friday to check for fluid buildup and if the last 2 drains can be pulled, but I had to produce 30 cc or less of fluid in my JP drain.
