Just some random thoughts on my expansions

I don't know about anyone else, but I almost lost count of my inflations and how many cc's I have in my expanders!  500!!!  I can't believe it.  I had previously said that I want to go to 550 but I don't know now, I want a little bit bigger.  I have also heard to go 50 cc's above what you want to go.  So maybe 650!? ;-) 

This will have to be a prolonged process, instead of 3 more inflations, I may have to do 6 because of the extreme pain that I have been in.  I think I am going to see my Dr. rather than the PA my next visit, so we can decide together.  I was supposed to have an appointment tomorrow but couldn't work it out with work so it will be 3 weeks in between my inflations.  I am too upset about that since I don't want to be in pain but it is also prolonging this process. 

I want to have my 2nd surgery before the new year, partially because I don't want to pay my deductible again!  lol  We'll see, I start class next week for summer session then I will start fall semester (my last semester!!!) in August, I don't know if I want to deal with class work, surgery and healing at the same time.  Its not something that needs to be decided right now, so I will make the decision soon.
