Scar-y

If you have a weak stomach, I would encourage you now to just skip this post. Today and tomorrow I'll be posting the pictures of my wounds (I figure showing you both of them in one day is a little much). Below is the picture of where they removed Terrence (the tumor), and stitched me back up. Where you see that big black bow looking thing is where my skin meets my nipple (is a nipple part of your skin?! I'm not really sure). I'm actually feeling a little better today, still have the sensation that someone is stabbing me every time I take a step, but nothing I can't put up with.


I have always been satisfied with my small and perky chest, but always considered the option of enhancing it later in life. Now I know exactly why God made me part of the itty bitty titty committee- it was because he knew that I'd have to go through this and that if I was any bigger, the bouncing movement when I walked would be even more excruciatingly painful. Talk about a blessing in disguise!!


I haven't been able to wear a bra yet (and am not supposed to for the next week), but I'm going to test out a new Under Armour sports bra that's incredibly soft and hits in a place that doesn't make me want to cry. . .hopefully this will allow me to maybe go down some blues this weekend in Breck with my brother.


Thanks for all your love and support, it's truly been appreciated!!! I will have the results to the pathology tests in the next week, and hopefully they will be free and clear and there won't be any next steps!! I'll keep you updated!!


And now, what you've all been waiting for (or avoiding)- my boob wound. The scar on this sucker is going to be really heinous, but don't worry about me, I've already throughly convinced myself that I'm going to be an old spinster so I won't have to worry about scar-ing anyone with it in the future!!


DRUM ROLL. . .DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM. . . .






My wound on day 3. I need a name for my scar- maybe Sally?!

Suggestions?!

I'm suddenly REALLY glad to also be a member of the itty bitty titty committee...

Looks painful, but it represents the purging of Terrence (besides, we never liked him...).

xxoo
