When I found out I have breast cancer I benefitted from reading several blogs. I decided to write a blog to "give back," as well as to have a record of events. My daughter, Brittney, has subtitled this blog - Kickin' It With Kim

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.
