My whole life is under construction. Not only am I in the midst of designing my own life and figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life, my body is under construction as well.
Several weeks ago when I went to put on my mascara after not wearing any in a while I noticed that I only had 3 eyelashes left on the bottom of each eye. Then on Sunday morning when I was getting ready for church I noticed that all of the lashes in the bottom were growing back and they were tiny little pieces of lash. I think that was harder to put mascara on than the 3 long lashes.
While primping on Sunday my kids also pointed out lovingly that a large patch of my right eyebrow was missing. I guess this would make up for the patch on the left eyebrow that fell out and is now growing back. Nature is so symmetrical! What happens to one side must happen to the other I guess.
My hair is growing in nicely and I've decided that I really like it very short. It's very striking and very easy to take care of. I'm toying with the idea of keeping it this way for a while. Time will tell and I do reserve the right to change my mind. Perhaps I'm being influenced by the 80 degree weather we've been having.
I saw Dr. K on Friday and all looks good with my tissue expanders. We are ready to move forward on implants, the next step. I told him that I really wanted 450cc implants but wasn't willing to go through the pain of expansion. He said he could put 450s in but that they would be hard and tight and not as realistic. I've opted for the 400s because realistic is important to me. So my construction continues. I'm waiting to hear back from his office with a surgery date once they get the OK from insurance. Dr. K. says this one is a breeze compared to what I've already gone through and said I should be up and about in a week or less. He also lovingly reminded me that none of the scars I own he gave me. He hopes to use existing incision marks to cut me open once more. I am prayerful that HPN will be quick to give approval and I will have surgery sometime in April.
The road continues to be bumpy but not nearly as bumpy as before. It's a great day to be alive. Peace.
