4/30/07 Surgery... again

I will be going in for surgery tomorrow morning to fix my right breast. 
There are a bunch of different scenarios on what could be done- depending on what they find when my plastic surgeon goes in.  So I won't bore you with all of them.
As of right now- my right breast has a hole in the skin about 2" to 2 1/4" in diameter.  The outer ring of skin looks to be trying to heal- but there are no hopes that it will heal to cover the entire wound. 
I can now look at it... though I won't put the ointment on it myself... that requires too much attention to it... and I can't sit there and ponder it for that long- it may start to upset me.
I am looking forward to tomorrow... to fixing this and again- moving on!
Please send your positive thoughts my way at 9:15 as I am wheeled into the operating room.
I'll write more when I get home from surgery on what was done.

God bless to all of you who keep me and Todd in their prayers!!
