If you look closely you can see where they dug the breast tissue so deep that I have a huge sunken in arm pit. I have to say the sensation to clean or shave under there feels so weird I always dread doing that morning chore. (Maya was doctoring on me while I was doing some sit ups see the stethoscope?)
I'm able to straighten out my arm completely while laying down without any hesitation or resistance. When they took my back muscle I lost so much strength and flexibility that stretching my arm was impossible. All I have to say is I never thought I'd come this far.Originally I didn't choose to have Latissimus Dorsi Flap surgery (the latissimus dorsi muscle is the most powerful muscle of the back). Who would? It's invasive and has a long recovery but I really wanted to make it right and feel put together again. This was my only option because of the sever radiation burn. All I have to say is TiMe has healed me. Thank you Lord for giving me the strength and high tolerance for pain to get through it.
I have to push myself to do these exercises though. Push Ups are KiLLeR! My doctor said If I didn't do Pilate's or some type of exercise I would loose my strength and agility.
When times are tough it does get better I'm proof of it!
