I am so freaking elated! My Breast Surgeon Oncologist says that she wants me to work closely with one of her staff members to provide products and information for her patients who are struggling with intimacy during their journey. She is so excited to support me now that I am no longer under PR. She also told me she wants me to be a part of a huge cancer symposium since my new products have all the clinical data to back them! This is incredible! 😍

I am also extra elated that I am now on the 6 month schedule because everything is finally getting better. All of my scans and tests are where they want them right now. I am still spitting stitches, but no longer in pain. I am much better physically. I did have to fill out a distress screening form before my appointment which was very eye-opening for me. I checked off lots of boxes in the physical concerns and emotional concerns sections, and some boxes in the social concerns, and none in the practical concerns. I knew I was struggling emotionally and mentally with everything, but didn't realize how bad. I also didn't realize how much I was still struggling with my physical appearance since my surgery. I got very emotional talking about this with her. I even started to cry during my appointment because this whole thing has kicked my a$$! I don't know if I will ever be okay with my physical appearance again. It's strange and new territory for me because I have always been very confident in this area no matter how thick or thin I ever was. Now that I have been cut up and my body completely altered, I struggle tremendously. I realized that I rarely look in the mirror anymore and I rarely take pictures now. This has been so hard! I am very grateful that I am alive and that I am healing, but it doesn't make the struggle any easier!

In a nutshell, so many opportunities are rapidly coming my way now that I am my own LLC and I am extremely grateful so keep pimp-ing me out. I am still struggling emotionally and mentally, but happy that my scans are clean! ❤️

P.S. If only life was as simple as it was when I designed and sewed this dress out of a lady's pant leg in my Nanny's sewing room. My grandma was so shocked because...

It's so crazy what pain and sickness will do to your brain and how it will effect every single thing in your life. When I was prepping for my mastectomy, I had a timeline of recovery in my mind. The doctors told me a timeline and I was set on that timeline. I even thought, "shoot, I will be better even faster than their timeline." How cocky and ignorant of me. So many things in my life have knocked me down and I've always gotten up and bounced back even harder. This was different! The timeline for recovery was longer than anyone could have imagined. 6 months! 6 whole entire months it took me to recover. Longer than even people who had way more intense surgeries...way more serious cases...way more aggressive plans of action. I had one setback after another...constant pain...constant reactions...constant tearing. My brain could not function. I am very intelligent and all of a sudden I found myself unable to make decisions, unable to think, unable to do, unable to bounce back, unable to heal, unable to recover, unable to function. My body was different. My mind was different. My existence was different. I would look at myself in the mirror and just cry. Who was this starring back at me? Why don't I know her? Why don't I recognize her? Why is she not bouncing back? I've ALWAYS had a hustle mentality. Go, go, go, GO! Now, I found myself unable to even go a little. I was on my reclining couch watching Rom-Com after Rom-Com after Rom-Com and all 15 seasons of Supernatural. I was here wondering how I had pushed away everyone who ever loved me because I was too busy always working. Now, I sat here alone with just my walls, Rucker, and Shyla Hope. Then, Shyla Hope passed away. This destroyed my frail mind even more. So now it was these walls and Rucker. How had my life become this? I honestly didn't know who I was without work and without the hustle. All in the midst of this pain, turmoil, horrible recovery, loss, and confusion, my parent company changed. I honestly couldn't even think about that. I couldn't process that they had just cut me out after 15 years of loyalty to them. They went direct to consumer and they marketed to my clients that I had fostered...

Thank you so much, Nanny for being such an amazing grandma to us all! ❤️ I love you so much and will miss you giving me a kiss and the sign of the cross before I walk away. My lunch crew is now gone that you and Hector are no longer here with me. All those daily lunches in high school laughing with you two will forever be some of my favorite memories. All those mornings I would run in with my friends before school and you would feed us and bless us before we left. Growing up playing in your hanging flower cauldron and running around your yard helping you water all your beautiful flowers was always the best! I will never forget when I was really little and I went into your sewing room and made a "sexy evening gown" out of a ladies' pant leg that you were supposed to hem. I remember your stunned face when I came out dressed up in my dress all proud because I used the sewing techniques you had taught me and even ruched parts and made a slit. You were so shocked and yet so proud! I had to apologize to the lady for ruining her pants to make my stylish dress and you just laughed and laughed 😅 I remember when you would let us go get a treat from Herman's for all of us cousins to share. I remember sitting in front of your pomegranate bush and eating pomegranates until I was sick and then doing it again the next day. I remember how you always smelled of roses and how I would sit in front of your mirror and sniff your perfume oil bottle. I remember you banging on the wall and telling Cammy and I to be quiet and go to sleep because we would laugh all night hiding under Jonas's bed. I remember visiting you at the nursing home on my way to parties every chance I passed through town and how sometimes you would remember me and sometimes I would have to remind you that I was Monique and that I lived in San Antonio now. You would always remember my hands though. Always. When you touched my hands, you would say, "Monique!" I will forever miss you, Nanny! Thank you for teaching us all so much! Thank you for giving me the most amazing mom ever! Thank you, Nanny for all your love! You were the best Nanny a girl could ask for!

I will be attending my first New Kids On The Block event in a few days since I had my mastectomy. I have attended over 100 New Kids concerts, been cruising on the SSNKOTB since 2009 (missed the Grand Turks one, but went on all the rest), and done at least 60 M&Gs with them, but I am super nervous about these shows. It's hard to feel like myself when I don't even recognize my body and everything fits so different. It's definitely a weird reality for me. I am giving myself permission to rest on the trip with my friends when I need and have fun when I can. This trip will be extra special for me and makes me appreciate all the amazing friendships and experiences that I have had because of the New Kids On the Block! I am so glad that I am still here Hangin' Tough!

see you soon!

Today, I woke-up feeling better than I have in 11 weeks! Last Thursday, we stopped all medications, creams, and ointments. On Tuesday, we added more cupping to my manual lymphatic drainage therapy. Yesterday, my chest started softening a little and my incisions finally closed. Last night, I slept in a bed. Today, I carried my own backpack and have only had slight tenderness in my chest. I think I am FINALLY healing! Keep those prayers coming! ❤️

Today is my 15 year anniversary in this career. It is crazy to see how much things have changed! I am excited about all of the new products and opportunities! I have done at least 1500 parties in my career! Holy moly!
Have you ever attended one? Thank you for your continued support over the last 15 years!

P.S. Below is still one of my favorite moments of my career far exceeding all the awards, all the classes I taught, and hoopla. It was when I was asked to speak at the Bilateral Upper Limb Loss Skills for Life 6 Conference in Houston. My audience was filled with doctors and patients. I got to work closely with a team of doctors and therapist for one of the most incredible experiences! ❤️

The other day, I had a really ugly and mean comment on my 10 week post op video update. It honestly made me want to be just as passive aggressive as that person was to me. I wanted to write something back because her comment made me so upset. I literally cried for hours. This is exactly why I struggle posting on social media. I know my friends say that I need to make videos, post, gain more business, and not let these bullies bother me, but I am just not wired that way. I take everything to heart! I am an empath and I get my feelings hurt so easily. I really wanted to say something just as awful. I chose not to. She doesn't know me. She doesn't know my journey. She doesn't know how I feel like a mutilated Frankenstein version of myself. She doesn't know that when I look at my body, I cry because I don't like what I see. She doesn't know that when I look at myself naked, I think to myself that I will probably be single forever because I don't think I could ever let someone see my chopped up chest. She doesn't know how I am having such a hard time emotionally, physically, and mentally. She doesn't know how it feels every time one of my incisions rips open causing me the most insane pain I have ever felt. She doesn't know how hard my chest is and how that hardness causes so much pain that I want to drop down to my knees and collapse. She doesn't know that I have nightmares that my ni***es will just fall off one day because the stitches keep tearing open. She doesn't know that I go through days without sleep and then go days where I can't wake up. She doesn't know that I burn, itch, swell, bleed, harden, and spit stitches multiple times per week. She doesn't know that some days I don't even want to breathe. Her comment literally has taken space in my head for three days. Three days of me feeling like absolute worthlessness! Three days of thinking my journey doesn't matter. I wanted to write back something with a jab. It took everything in me to not be ugly back. I instead wrote, "my doctors used my own tissue and the surgery I selected was Oncoplastic Partial Mastectomy with Contralateral Mastopexy for Symmetry." [Continued in comments]

Thank you to everyone who has been checking on me, sending gifts, praying, and sharing my PartiesinTX site! I am so grateful!
Today, Des took me to see my P*P and now I have to go get an ultrasound because the left side of my body is swelling really bad...particularly my left leg and left arm. My first time leaving the house was rough. These roads in San Antonio are terrible and my chest felt every single bump, pothole, and dip! I did have a huge improvement though. I was able to remove my bandages, shower, redo my bandages, and dress myself. I will take that win.
Hoping the ultrasound is okay.
Then Thursday, I see my Breast Surgeon Oncologist and Breast Reconstructive Surgeon to check how my body is healing at their San Marcos location. Praying the trip to San Marcos is a little easier than today's brief drive to Dr. Earp.
