I never went to my last appointment
with my PS. I figured that since I have no problems
with the new boobies, I'm just going to stop seeing
him. I went to two after appointments, so I figure
that's good enough. Besides, he was kind of mean to
me when I did go to see him -- so I figure, what's
the point?
I was scheduled to see my family
doctor today for a depo prevara (sp?) shot today, so
I wouldn't get pregnant. This would have been my
first. We got all the way to her offices over in
Superior, and we were delayed by a train -- so I had
to reschedule. I just decided to find a new family
doctor that actually operates in the same city I'm
in.
As always, there's no problems with
my breasts. I noticed that the scarring is now a
light purple, and the sides of skin tags are still
there. I don't think they will ever go away. I'm
wearing a 48 DD right now, but it's a cotton bra
that's still a little to big on me. So techincally,
I'm a D cup. Wahoo!
There's still some scarring on my
left breast, in the middle of the insertion scar. It
doesn't hurt, but it's still an open wound that is
clearing up. The nipples are now a light pink, and I
absolutely adore them. Before the surgery my nipples
were very small and they hung on the bottom of my
breasts, at least now -- I have real ones, although
they are flat.
I ran into someone recently that I
haven't talked to in years, and she was wondering
what was different about me. Finally I blurted out,
"I had a breast reduction!" She couldn't
believe how different I looked now. Everyone always
thinks I lost a bunch of weight (I did lose 6 lbs
from the surgery, but that's it), and I'm always
laughing when I see their reactions. They look so
suprized when I tell them.
It's nice to have conversations
with men and women and not have them stairing at my
chest and talking to my chest. It's so weird still
for me though. I went jogging with my son in his
stroller two days ago. Yep, that's right -- I was
running! It felt so great! I haven't run in years,
and get this -- I did it in heals!
I didn't get to go swimming at
Austin's b-day party but we are renting another hotel
room on Wednesday and I'm going swimming then. I
can't wait. Work is going wonderfully, and I got
switched to a different program so I won't be booking
appointments for Charter Pipeline for awhile (which
is okay by me). I also have a brandnew job offer that
pays really well and starts at full-time. So Austin
might be going back to the daycare to have fun with
the kids during the day, because this job is right by
his daycare.
That's pretty much all there is to
say about me, so here's a couple of new pictures of
me in my bra (minus my lovely face). Have a wonderful
weekend! I think this is going to be my last journal
entry......so I hope you enjoyed my journal of
recovery and pre-surgery jitters!
