One Month away

Reader,

 In one month and a day, I will be going in for surgery! The last post I did was full of questions and had a tone of apprehension but I’m really glad I posted about all that stuff. I called the nurse and asked all those questions. I feel so much more relieved! Apparently my surgeon has already taken the written part of the boards and passed and is in the middle of the second part. The reason she hasn’t been board certified yet is because she’s young and had to clock a certain number of hours before she could take the test. I feel good about that. Another concern of mine was how “pretty” they were going to look and the nurse just told me this: “Any woman in this department would go to her for work done. Let me put it this way: if the post op tape is uneven, she redoes it.” So that made me feel like she is going to take time and use precision. The last thing I was nervous about was the end size result. I read a few stories about people who still thought their chest was too big and I really REALLY don’t want that to happen in my case. I asked the nurse what a reasonable estimate of cup size would be for me and she said C. I’m ok with that. If I’m a DDD right now? That’s a huge improvement.

So now I have just become excited. I feel like I am in good hands and that I will be pleased with the result. I will post a little more as the date approaches if I think of anything pressing. Post op I will stay one night in the hospital and then my mom is coming to stay with me in a hotel for a few days…so I should be relatively comfortable. 

I’m so excited to be able to see what bras look like, what clothes look like, etc. I know this will take some time but still!
