22 months since my first surgery....countless appointments for follow up, fills, reworks, crafting and scheduling.....came pretty much to a close yesterday with the completion of the last step of my breast reconstruction....the tattoos. 

Somehow this time just flew, and in other ways I feel like I've been in the middle of this for forever....needless to say I AM THRILLED, just THRILLED to be at this point. 

The procedure yesterday didn't take any more than an hour and a half.  More time that not was spent mixing the just right color, looking at my skin tone, reviewing old "before" pictures (those will have to be burned...) and making marks on me with a pen.  Oh, and the numbing shots....which were really the most uncomfortable part, but not all that uncomfortable. 

A day later the only problems I am having is with the band-aids....that old tape problem again.  I just decided the new art work can go commando, so off with the covers.  The redness and welts caused by the adhesive are far more bothersome.  I may have to go back in for some touch ups - I'll know more in 6 weeks - but for now I'm calling this DONE!

And, no regrets, nada, zilch, zero, ixs-nay, etc.....
