hello my name is Becca...

And I have an over-exertion problem. Honestly, 4 days after surgery you do the 2-mile Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk?!! Oh yes, she did. The group that did the walk was organized by Maria, our fantastic reconstructive surgery nurse. So the group was pretty much all patients who have had the same DIEP procedure. Mom Sarah drove out and sister Emily joined Becca for the walk, too. Here she is with Maria:

Yes, Becca's shirt reads "Hey Cancer… You Picked the Wrong Broad!" A great shirt from Sammy's godmom Alix. Perhaps the only time you will see Becca refer to herself as a broad. I prefer "chick". Semantics.

So anyway the surgery went well and she DID have a drain (d'oh!) but it was taken out at the Friday checkup. Her chest is even more battleground-looking now, but Dr. L. was pleased so he must be able to see where Becca will end up after the bruising and all that clears up. In fact, we have no further appointments with him until the 19th. Oh and more nausea, yay. We think it might be the preventative antibiotics she's on or maybe just the fact that she WALKED TWO MILES.

Look at all these pictures on the blog! I must be trying to make up for my pathetic lack of consistent verbiage. Eh well, ya get what ya get.
