Two Weeks from Today!

I will be boob-free. Well not excatly boob-free but hopefully close! :)

I saw my doctor yesterday and we went over everything one more time! I got meausred for my compression garments. He gave me my prescriptions to get filled ahead of time. I was given some funky smelling pink soap that I have to bathe with the night before and the morning of surgery. My surgery will be at 9:45 am and will last 4 full hours. That's the part that scares me the most. 4 hours is a long time! Assuming everything goes fine I will get to come home that night and an inhome nurse will be visiting me!

A friend recently told me her plastic surgery was life-changing and she would do it again in a heartbeat. I hope I feel the exact same way! :)

Monday....

I am really worried about my dad, and I am on my way to the hospital because my grandpa is having sugery today. So I knew some pictures of Dominic would help cheer me up! Isn't he such a doll baby? I love him!!!! :)

Shelby!

It has been one week today since we had to give Shelby away. She went to a really good home in Akron where she will has 3 brothers who are all labs, an inground pool just for the dogs, and 2 acres fenced in for her to run! The family is a husband and wife who were never able to have children, so they raise labs instead! Although we know Shelby is in a much better place, it's still very hard and emotional on us. She is adjusting quite well to her new home and her new owner has promised to keep us updated!

Last night Gabe and I went to dinner, and then came in early and relaxed and watched TV. It was really hard not having her there pacing around us, running, and panting like a crazy dog. I am still sad, but hopefully each day will get better. I'm finally not crying everytime I think about her, but my heart still hurts.

Afghanstan Pictures!

My dad sent me lots of pictures from Afghanstan this week, so I thought I would share a few. The first picture is from the bazaar where people shop. The second is a picture of a recent Taliban attack. The third is a picture of the Army Housing. This isn't where dad lives, but it is typical of where our soldiers are living. And the last picture is a view of off base from dad's apartment.
