Scar tissue is a wonderful thing :o)

Here I am at 10 weeks out from plastics and I can finally report complete healing. Actually, the leaking in my right breast stopped 9 days ago and the final leg of my healing marathon has, at long last, concluded.Previous to this milestone, and although I truly trust Dr. S and his professional opinion, I was starting to really freak out about the possibility of my breast leaking forever...or further, the though of coming home from Mexico with only one breast. I couldn't even sleep through the night without waking up from some one-tit nightmare! So, I made an appointment with a local plastic surgeon for a second opinion of sorts. Interestingly, he agreed with Dr. Sauceda...literally word-for-word. While this wasn't so much a surprise, it did give me some strange bit of acceptance for my situation...which boiled down to likely having my right implant removed for a couple of months until internal healing was complete, and then going back to MX to have another surgery to place another implant for another shot at proper healing.
Anyway, long story cut short...I saw the other surgeon on Thursday, Feb. 18, and the last day I leaked even a minute amount was Feb. 23. It's been all downhill since then. I am completely healed and have only a small divet or pockmark, of sorts, where the pin-hole was located. It seems to be a case of me being a brutally slow healer when it comes to the boobs. The rest of my body healed up, lickety-split and perfectly. The boob, not so much. In any case, I am so thrilled to have finally completed this phase of healing I could just scream...ahhhh, I can take a hot bubble bath now and with two boobs, too!!!
But, I am even more thrilled to have been able to deliver the good news to Dr. Sauceda yesterday(I wanted to wait until I was utterly certain I was in the clear!). I think he was relieved, as he said he would "be very happy today and tomorrow." He even reminded me that he would be in San Francisco in August for a conference and would love for he, his wife, Damon, and I to meet for dinner. I look forward to visiting with this wonderful prince of a man and his lovely bride. Dr. Sauceda is such an amazing gift to his profession.
