OWWW

I was forever and a day in the ob/gyn's office. The yearly part of it went well enough. Have to go get the boobs crushed again. That'll teach me to be almost 40 and never have kids (yeah nothing like pulling the pin on the cancer hand grenade there)


The oww isn't the yearly. That's nothing. But I did have some lumps and bumps that needed removing. Hell I could cut off all of them but one myself but they're in a place I can't reach easily with the tissue nippers (it's not like you need anesthetics for skin tags) but they're right where the bra hits so bye bye. The other was a freaking mole that was getting bigger right where the panties rub. It's like screw you body. can't you put these things where a) I could cut them off myself or b) at least where they wouldn't rub. That one needed numbed (and now that's worn off). pouts. Also it decided to bleed like crazy. thru the dressing and everywhere else. The little skin tags didn't bleed at all. The doc's like...um you're not bleeding. No shit. it's so damn COLD in here all my blood vessels are clamped. I'm sure that'll change as soon as I'm in public

well off to do the laundry. And boo to Domestications for having two more bedspreads I'd die for. ARGH. I WILL NOT TURN INTO MY MOTHER. I will NOT have a bedspread for every season. Whimpers. I want them.

yeah i have a feeling I wouldn't be hesitating if it came to that

Oh, I already had mine taken away...

Almost two years now. In May, it'll be two years. Main reason was that my sternum was falling apart. Then my back, neck, and oh yeah, I was 23 and childless with boobs that looked like they belonged to a 60 year old with three kids.

yay insurance.

I absolutely never hesitated.

my sister in law is looking into a reduction too

[roguewords.livejournal.com]

I highly recommend it. There's just something about knowing that when someone is looking at you, they're actually looking at your face instead of your breasts that makes you feel really good.

she needs it. I, on the other hand, don't

*nods*

I always offered to give my excess to my sisters, if there had been a way. ;)

The really major upside of the surgery for me was the increase in my self confidence. Even with my tummy being bigger since the surgery (or maybe it was just always that big and I couldn't tell) my self confidence has gone up like crazy.

that's a good thing

My Mom and I were discussing that - I said, "Do you think if I claim back pain, I can get my breasts reduced?"

She said, "GO FOR IT."

Of course, then I quit the job where I had insurance....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes exactly and it still might not have been covered

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

But I might've had a better chance of that THEN than now.
