We wanted to give you a quick update on Melissa's recovery from her surgery. (For those of you who are unaware, on Feb.23 she underwent a double mastectomy and bi-lateral trams-flap procedure. This was proactive, due to her previous breast cancer.)
She continues to amaze her Doctor with how quickly she is healing. However she has been working harder than her doctor would advise and, as a result, has been having fluid build up which has had to be drained once a week for the past three weeks. Yesterday (April 27th), after visiting her doctor, he decided to perform an out-patient surgery procedure on her to insert some drains. She is now resting comfortably at home.
Please join me in wishing her continued recovery.
(And if from time to time you wish to post on her facebook wall and remind her to take it easy, I'm sure her Doctor would appreciate it ☺)
Thinking of you ... take it easy like the doctors said...We all want you well ! Huggs...Laura

Melissa, I met you at StLouis CKC (not long after your surgery). I could see how you love what you do and wanted to have a hands on with us that love your product. But it is ok to rest and get your strength back and heal properly. You are an inspiration to women, so take care of yourself, not just for everyone else, but for you. Prayers sent your way.
