March 30 - Fix 'er up 'er

Went to Dr. Shulman's Thursday for the typical fill up. She did a full injection (60 mL) on the left and just a little on the right. I think the left expander is finally unfolding, so I don't have that sharp edge poking through the lateral pectoral muscle border anymore. The scar tissue spots in the middle are a little wider - but then so is my whole chest.

I played with a silicone implant while I was waiting for the doctor. Feels squishy like those splippery-slide tubes with plastic animals and glitter inside, with softer edges. So that's good. However, I notice that they sit pretty flat and round, like a stack of silver-dollar pancakes. My massage therapist notes she's not real pleased with "the profile" of silicone because bras aren't made flat and wide. I will be taking this up with Dr. Shulman in the future. Maybe I can get new improved models.

I also asked about doing some extra work while I'm out for the next surgery. Without going into details, I think I could be "a whole new me" for a mere $10,000. OK, maybe $12,000 - I'm kind of furry.

Actually, the main rebuilding could be done with minimal extra expense and disruption to my work schedule. Any great $$ making ideas besides work more and spend less?

I'm still considering it...
