When the unexpected comes it has the ability to change the course of things. Even though today was inconvenient, I know God walks before me and His outcome will be perfect for me.

Yesterday I noticed some pretty significant redness on the skin surrounding my implant. This would make sense on the biopsied side, but this was the other one so I was baffled. I prayed about it and although the thought of ignoring it sounded ideal, I knew that my surgeon would probably need to see it because it surely didn’t look normal. By the end of last night it had changed pretty quick in appearance and it was starting to feel a bit more painful so I sent a couple of pictures (😳) through the portal and tried to sleep…that didn’t happen!!

They called me just as I was starting my work day that they wanted to see me As soon as I could get there. So Brad and I took a road trip not knowing what to expect, but expecting the best!

The good news is that it’s not infection and that I didn’t need to be instantly hospitalized. Gosh I am so thankful for that!!!!

However it is clear that my implant not only migrated out of its pocket (what we already knew) it decided to travel downward and is placing its residency where it doesn’t belong!! It is pulling downward and that bugger is making things feel uncomfortable at times.

They have no idea what to expect as to how long my skin (that area particularly) will hold this implant as it is very thin in this area. However my surgery (the one planned for June) takes up a full day so there are no earlier days to get me in sooner as of now. They have the scheduler trying to see what she can do as far as shuffling others but nothing is set in stone as of yet.

So in the meantime we wait to see how my body reacts. If my skin breaks down more it becomes an emergency and surgery will happen that day….even if they couldn’t do the full surgery it would have to at least get the implants out and we would have to figure out the rest. In the meantime I have to lay flat every chance I get and try to defy gravity 😆

I’m not quite sure what that looks like while I am working….or driving!!! 🤣

So please if you could, pray for God’s will. He knows the perfect day for this surgery and I am resting in His promise. This is the exact reason He says to not look ahead and worry. When the day arrives, He will prepare me AND my family. In the meantime I will not fear the storm, even when I hear it roar.

Much love 💕
