Time will heal the burns, the skin may kind of thicken but that doesn’t always happen either. Your energy levels will come back in time. Do you have the luxury of being able to take it easy for now?

Yes - I am semi-retired and work from home. I managed to keep walking 3 miles every morning through it all.

Just noticed yesterday afternoon that I have developed some cords that run down from my breast to my abdomen. I am guessing they are Mondor's cords. I thought they usually develop sooner after surgery - it has been three months since mine. They are a bit sensitive. I don't go back to my plastic surgeon until the end of October but will contact his office tomorrow to let them know. It is amazing how everyone's journey can be so similar yet so different.
