We start the day with a Savi scout procedure. As I enter the women’s center I am greeted by a very kind lady that said, “welcome to the women’s center where you will get a locker and a gown”. For a minute, I thought wow just like going to the spa. But you don’t get slippers! Lol! You just have to laugh or this will get the best of you. I did wake up today a little unsure but overall I do feel ok! I continue to thank God for all my blessings and that he is in control.

So, no savi scout today. Dr. didn’t feel confident with the ultra sound and wants to do it with CT Scan. Well, it is what it is! Can’t do it today cause I have three more appointments. Next appointment Dr. Mamounus pre op. Brady was very pleasant explain the procedure again and reviewed the drains and how to strip the tubing. FUN TIMES!

Next appointment is Dr. Klien’s pre op. Any remember the PA name. All I remember is she said they would not do the surgery because my A1C was high. I said, “hell no, I am not doing a mastectomy then coming back for expanders”. Then I apologized for snapping and she said, “it’s ok, I understand.” I quickly thought, you don’t understand and go talk to Dr. Klien cause I have had my diabetes under control until chemo and steroids! So she did speak to him and he cleared me for surgery. Said he will put micro beads in that are antibiotic beads that dissolve.

So next appointment General pre op. Once again state your name and DOB! Ugh…. Chanel the RN was awesome. A little OCD with germs but whatever. Blood work done, EKG done and spoke with anesthesiologist.

What a day! Love the hubby for being with me. He has totally stepped up to the plate. I am blessed!

So a day later, sitting in Radiology room for my saviscout. Doing this one alone but I know God is with me. I feel a bit stronger physically but the mental aspect is clearly being challenged. As the days get closer I do have my moments but I must say I am calm. At least today. We will see how the next few days go!

Good news is I have a few eye lashes coming in. Seeing more spots on my skin and if you look at my hands I look like I am 80! But I am grateful because I know it could be worse, a lot worse.

I am blessed! I got this!
