Breast Reconstruction – Take 64

Since my breast reconstruction (almost three years ago already), I have been approached by a few women who want to know if they should get a breast reconstruction.
That is one loaded question.
First of all, it was the most painful thing I’ve ever endured. The six-day hospital stay felt like three weeks. For quite a long time after the surgery, I felt like my “guts were falling out.” Not a very nice feeling.
In the end, I did not choose to do the breast reconstruction because I was missing my cleavage. Face it, my days of wearing a bikini were over about two or three years into my marriage when I started packing on the weight. Quickly.
I chose to do the breast reconstruction because I felt lopsided. Off-kilter. And couldn’t sleep.
After all the pain and recuperation from that surgery, I now sleep like a baby (when I’m not hyped up on thyroid medicine.) And play volleyball every chance I get.
