19. Looks like I'll need more surgery

Sun Apr 21, 2019, 02:16 PM

Apr 2019

My lat flap accomplished two things: we got rid of the scar tissue on my chest and I'm no longer concave in that area. I guess I'll need an implant next. So much for getting rid of the fake boobie just yet.
Pain, second day after, is not too bad after spending all of yesterday on pain meds. The two surgical zones take turns vying for my attention. I think ibuprofen is going to be enough from here on in.
