The Saga Continues

It has been over 3 weeks since Darilyn had surgery. All is going according the game plan that we were given. The plastic surgeon has begun the process of expanding the right side so that they will be able to insert an implant. The left side has been healing very nicely.

The only problem has been that my lady has not quite come to terms with the necessary down time for healing. They say that whenever the body is cut for surgery, it is a major systemic trauma. And your body takes all of the resources that it can to cause it to heal. Darilyn is finding out that this is very tiring. She wants to be able to do everything she did before surgery but is finding that she has to take naps. And she never took naps before. This causes her to be frustrated about things. She has gone back to work. As she works at a desk job, she is only working half days at this time. Fortunately the sheriff's department is very much a large family and they are doing their best to take care of her as well. She has many, many friends as well. The support system has become enormous. Thank you lord.

Now she has to see an oncologist. This is said to be just the course that has to be followed. He will determine if there is any need for further types of treatment. This will happen this week. As I said, The Saga Continues. But we will be standing at the end!!!!!!
