Turns out the hospitals and two surgeons couldn't coordinate on December 7th. The surgery has been rescheduled for the morning of December 3rd (Monday). So, all things going well, I should be home by Wednesday, December 5th. (They did offer to let me wait until December 14th, instead, but I couldn't imagine waiting any longer. I am already nervous enough!)
We had a good meeting with the plastic surgeon this week, rounding out our medical visits. The most reassuring thing we heard from him was that if something goes wrong with the implants, or I decide I just don't want to deal with them, or anything else, he can just take them out without any further consequences. The skin and muscle will all collapse back, and be fine. For some reason, having a little wiggle room feels very safe.
We were also very pleased that Dr L has already talked to my radiation oncologist (a person I haven't met yet) about coordinating the radiation and expanding the implants. I am very lucky to have team of such good communicators.
