Another 40ccs



So now I am at 390ccs.  Dr. Ferguson thinks that I am filled pretty much as far as he feels comfortable going.  I have another appointment in 2 weeks and we will see if there is any more "filling" to do.  He showed me some implant "stats" (height, width, volume and profile).  It looks like the implants that might be right for me are right about 400ccs.  There are two brands that he uses and they both have different stats available (Sientra and Allergan 410).  He is most familiar with the Sientra brand, having used it already.  The newly FDA approved implant, Allergan 410, that is heavier and denser, claiming that it holds its shape better and doesn't "wrinkle" or "slouch".  Dr. Ferguson thinks that a rep for these new implant models will be stopping by and might leave a few examples that we can look at. 

My Mom is losing her fourth battle with cancer.  Last week, she would open her eyes and look at me with a smile when I went into her bedroom and told her, "Mom, it's me, Lisa."  Now, she barely opens her eyes at all when we speak with her and kiss and kiss her cheek. I long to be on the backyard garden swing beside her, enjoying the warmer spring days, or going for a "country walk" with her, my sister and our kids.  Just to be with Mom, with Grandma.  At my daughter's soccer practice last week, a soccer mom was talking with her mom on the phone the whole hour.  I see girls my age with their moms at lunch or in the store...and I wish I had more time.  I am grateful for a wonderful mother-in-law, though!  Today I held my 3 year old daughters hand as we walked around the house.  Love that little hand!  I squeezed my 1 year old in my arms and stroked his hair and cheek.  It was nice to take small moments.  I have to remember to do that more.  The small moments make me so happy.
