Easy Does It

This round has been proceeding smoothly, which is always nice to say.  And while we don't take that for granted, we are taking the time to reflect on the last year and a half (plus a few months), and look at how far we've come.  And I don't mean in the nevus removal department.  It is truly amazing how "easy" this process seems to be to my family now that we've got so many rounds, so many surgeries, so many fills under our belts.

Because I have personally been doing so well this time, today mom got out the video camera for the first time during a fill.  You can see for yourselves how this is just a part of our lives that we have gotten used to...

In the end today, dad pushed 60cc into my back, 35cc into my left leg and 40cc into my right leg.  We might have been able to push a little more, but as I so plainly say above, easy does it.  There is no need to rush things along, especially when doing so can cause complications.  We are keeping things on track but also keeping them under the radar just a little to make sure they stay on track.  We are very happy with the volume after only 4 fills -- 415 in my back, 185 in my left leg and 200 in my right leg.

 

And while this does appear to be routine, and it is in our reality, we still pray every day that it remains an uneventufl, simple, and "easy" process whose end is in sight.
