what a day

Vitamin party, originally uploaded by sadpear.

So today I had my consult with a surgeon about top surgery. It is happening on the 17th, which is less than two weeks away. I didn't expect it to happen to fast, but there you go. I'm really, really fucking excited. Goodbye life of sports bras and sadness, hello new chest.

dude, that's seriously awesome! I'm surprised it's happening so fast, but v. v. glad for you

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

I thought it would take so much longer, but they had times right away!

[mielikki.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, that's FAST! Do you need help getting there or back or anything?

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

I know right? I think we're good transport wise. Mike will be able to take time off.

[mielikki.livejournal.com]

That's so amazing! How long does it take? What's the recovery supposed to be like? What will they do with your old boobs? (okay, probably inappropriate, but I'm insanely curious) I'm so happy for yoooouuuuuu!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm assuming like most other medical waste it will be incinerated. Thank goodness for that. The surgery itself only takes an hour or two, and recovery overall is about four to six weeks with the first week being the hardest.

I'm glad you're getting this done now. The older I get, the longer it takes to heal, it seems.

If you need emergency sushi brought to you by weeks 3-6, just let me know. I hope boredom is the worst thing you'll have to deal with. =)

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Aww thank you. I just love the idea of emergency sushi.

Congrats!

Thanks! I'm excited about a life of manly shirtlessness.

This sounds absolutely dreamy.

[kythryne.livejournal.com]

SQUEE!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

YAY! (Also, how great is it that ALL THE THINGS got scheduled today!)

*hugs*

I'm so glad things went well today, and I'm very, very excited for you that it's happening soon!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

It was such a relief - I had all these irrational fears about them saying "no, you can't" and it wasn't like that at all!

[psylent1.livejournal.com]

You've wanted this for so long, I'm glad that it's finally coming true.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I am super excited.

[daysprings.livejournal.com]

I'm glad the consult went well and things are moving forward towards what you want, more quickly than you'd expected! All great things. :)

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Thank you - I am boggled by how easy it was. (And the guy who did my blood draw must be a vampire, because he was lighting fast.)

[awdrey-gore.livejournal.com]

Wow, that happened fast. If you have any issues during recovery and need help of any sort, let me know. I have to imagine that boob-removal must hurt. I wish you so much luck as you embark on this leg of your journey!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

I know right? Crazy. I've never had a medical experience resolve itself so efficiently.

They are sort of large boobs, so I think it might be very painful. The crazy vitamins are supposed to help. Thank you for the offer - I should go nuts and clean my house because it is a disaster before this happens.

[splix.livejournal.com]

Awesomeness. :D

Holy crap, arnica? That's so...Victorian. I love it. :D

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, that's something I didn't think of! Amazing.

[sun-set-bravely.livejournal.com]

Wheeeee!!!! Congratulations! When the time is right, it is right!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Yay, yay! I'm excited!

[ktnb]

Yay! That's very exciting. :D Everyone I know who's had the surgery has said it was a great decision.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I am so terribly excited!

[eroticcakejob.livejournal.com]

Wow wow wow!!!
I'll have my fingers crossed for you.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Thank you! So exciting!

[tinywarrior.livejournal.com]

Just saw this! Wow!! And YAY!!!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

YAY! Happy times!

[eiviiaru.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! That's awesome news.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[rachel2205.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! A good friend of mine had this done but he had to wait months for surgery so I'm very impressed they're doing it so quickly.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I was surprised too, but I suppose that's the benefit of it being elective surgery. If the insurance company isn't going to pay for it, then you may as well get to have it when you want it!

[marz]

Congrats! I hope the surgery goes well and you recover quickly. :D

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Fingers crossed that all these giant vitamins help!

[avidbeader.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[halfacork.livejournal.com]

I'm behind lj (again!) but I wanted to offer you a hug and a squee! So exciting!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

LJ is all times. All times on LJ are now. :D

YAY!

[upaya.livejournal.com]

I'm a little late, but Congrats!

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :) No congrats are ever late, in my mind.
