Deflated

At some point friday, I noticed I was having some breast pain on my mastectomy side. I thought it was strange because I really hadn't been in much pain in that area in quite a long time. I started to worry that I had an infection or that my body was rejecting my tissues expander or something...I really had no idea! Well, there was no swelling, heat, or redness so I figured it was not an infection. Also on friday I had gone to the pool with the kids. I have searched high and low trying to find a bikini top to wear under my swim shirt.  Finally, I found one that evened out the girls.  When I wore  it friday to the pool- there was something going on for sure.  I was terribly lopsided and could not even things out.  I had no idea WHY I could not make my suit look as good as I did when I first bought it.  Then it all started to click...My foob (fake boob) was smaller!  Holy cow!  The only way to explain that is that it must be leaking.  When I finished having it expanded in December, my foob was actually a tad larger than my boob.  That was certainly no longer the case.   Jim was kind of freaking out about it and wanted me to call my plastic surgeon- the one that put my expander in.  Well, I just didn't see the point.  Not only was it a weekend, but also I had pre-op coming up on Tuesday with the plastic surgeon that was going to take the expander out (NOT the same PS that put it in) so there was just nothing for that doctor to do for me, and the expander is filled with saline which is safe if it leaks.  Now it's just something I have to wait to figure out what will happen with the leaky boob.
