Reconstruction

I finished the first of my reconstruction surgeries. I had a Latissimus Dorsi Flap. The pain from this surgery is crazy, I have had my expander filled every week since my surgery. Last week was my last "fill up". I am still going through Physical Therapy to get motion back in my shoulder. My final surgery will be May 26th to replace the expander with implants. I am very much looking forward to this part being over so I can begin my journey of healing.
I can't really include pictures for you of this process but know this: My left breast is as hard as a rock and very awkward shaped. I feel like I'm carrying around a brick on my chest.
