After my last expansion (I have roughly 3 more to go), I will have to let them sit for 2-3 weeks and then I'll be ready for my exchange. The exchange is when they will drain these expanders, remove them and exchange them for my teddy noobies. I just can't wait for that day but I will say that these expanders bother me less and less each week.
My side and front chest muscles are still pretty sore/tight but my back muscles seem just about healed. I did get stuck in my dress the other day trying to get ready for church and that made me realize that they aren't COMPLETELY healed yet. Oh, are you giggling over there? Well I can laugh now but at the time I was in tears. I just wanted to feel girly and wear a dress to church. So I grabbed an old favorite, got it over my head somehow but half way over my boobs, it got stuck! Yes, stuck! I was like, "Oh, effffff!" There was no one around to help me so I tried pulling it back up over my head but that was a joke and it hurt like hell, scraping against my sore back muscles and chest. So I tried wiggling it down my hips. Great idea except that it had an empire waist and my hips are a BIT bigger than that. I almost had to get the scissors! I managed to get it down and with red streaked legs, I put my trusty 'ol jumper on, wiped my tears, and headed to church. Needless to say, I was late but I think God will forgive me for this one!
