Pumpin' Up

I got some more saline put in my skin expander today.  I was worried that it would hurt, but it didn't.  Apparently I'm completely numb on that side or at least where the needle went in.  I didn't feel a thing.  Now that the additional fluid is inside I can feel a tightness, but not unbearable by any means.  So glad!  It's pretty cool how Dr. Chase finds where to put the saline in.  There is a metal ring under the skin and he uses a magnet to find it and that tells him where to put the needle.  Once the needle was in, he pulled a little blue water out, which told him he was in the right spot.  I plan to watch next time.  I didn't this time, because I was worried I might get sick.
