'Twas the night before surgery...
I cannot believe that in 24 hours I'll be out of surgery. I've wanted this since puberty, and now that it's here my brain is doing that rose-colored-glasses thing brains do to cope with change and loss. Not to be mistaken for cold feet, because I'm buzzing with excitement...but wow, I'm feeling strangely grateful for and fond of my soon-to-be "old" boobs. I'm spending the day prepping my space and my heart for the impending seismic change, and I had to take a moment to thank you all. Long time lurker, first time poster, and this subreddit has been an invaluable source of information, humor, solidarity, inspiration, and courage. Thank you to the commenters, posters, and lurkers alike: I'm proud to be on this journey with all of you. I can't wait to share post-op updates (and photos) once I emerge from my anesthesia fog :) if anyone else has an April 22 surgery date and wants to connect, I'd love that. Please feel free to reach out!
