Crazy Times!!

10 days.....Only 10 days until I will be getting a HUGE surgery. Time is going fast and I have so much to do! Doctors appointments, tests, shopping for things to make post surgery easier and so much more. Now the worry and questioning of myself is happening. Is this the right decision?

November of last year I saw a friends post on Facebook about something called Breast Implant Illness. I thought surely that has nothing to do with me as my implants from having mastectomies because of breast cancer are saline. But it peaked my curiosity enough to do some research. After a week of research and testimonials, I made an appointment with a plastic surgeon for December.

Luckily for me (not really, cancer sucks!), my implants are older, are having issues and are in need of being replaced anyway so insurance will cover my getting them out. Unfortunately not all ladies are able to do this. I decided to get a surgery called DIEP Flap. It is a long surgery and recovery, but it will be worth it! This is where oils come to the rescue. I am diffusing calming and relaxing oils to ease my nerves. When my mind goes down the worry rabbit hole, I have to sit still and meditate to focus on the end goal. I am so glad I have these tools in my toolbox. I love essential oils!!
