It's BENIGN, BENIGN, BENIGN!!!! WOO HOO!!!!

I just got back from the doctor and both masses/cysts that they removed are benign, there's no cancer at all, woo hoo! I honestly felt there wouldn't be, but until I got that final report, there was that small bit of doubt. No doubt now! It's all good! I'm so happy and relaxed right now. I have been a bit tense for that past month and a half and just to know it's all good, well, totally what I needed! LOL

I'm still sore, and especially as the incisions are still healing and no longer in the itchy tape, but totally feeling much better. Don't think I'll be doing any jumping jacks for a while, but that's just fine with me.

Tape, really that important?

YES! OMG, yes! So, yesterday, after working all day, I was tired, sore and itching like crazy. I decided, no, I hadn't thought it all the way through, that I would take the bandages off my incisions. Again, not sure what I was going to do after I got it off, but I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Well, OMG, it was. The tape they put on, little did I know, was keeping the incision closed and kept if from pulling. Yep, therefore, keeping the pain level down. So, when I took it off, PAIN! I was hurrying, trying to find my first aid kit to be able to tape it back up. Of course I don't have the same type of tape and so it didn't do as well. I had to put on a bra and a tank with the built in bra to try and make sure they didn't move at all. I then took some pain meds and prayed it would help. First thing this morning I was at the doctor's office and she re-bandaged me. I didn't mess with the left side, after the fiasco that was the right side. I had enough sense to leave it alone. So, with all the messing with it, I'm a whole lot sore today. Also, found out I'm having an allergic reaction to the tape, so I have some tiny blisters and that's what's causing the itching.

So, that's the latest on me and my boobs! LOL, my mother will die knowing that I'm being so candid, but hey, this is me and it's what I do, do! LOL Plus, I gotta talk about it, just gotta!
