From Boobies to Tits (36" to 4"-6")

[ladyofthemasque]

I went ahead and had breast reduction surgery. There have been several setbacks due to swelling, some splitting incisions from the swelling, etc, but...I noticed something in my vocabulary. My breasts are no longer "boobies"...they're "tits

OMG...I didn't even notice until now that they missed one of the sticky-pads for the EKG monitor they use on you during surgery procedures with anesthesia...and it's juuust past my shoulder top, where I cannot reach it with more than my fingertips, without violating the 12" rule!

...Just caught my roomie before she left for work, and she kindly yanked it off and swiped the site with a damp paper towel to get off the contact gel. <3

I hope they're great tits and not long tailed ones.

No longer long-tailed, no; they don't droop so low...

My entire sympathies AND empathy on the pain thing. Your pain reaction is NOT something you can control. Completely involuntary reaction of your body to stuff that has happened. I once had an ingrown toenail from hell. My doctor kept cutting it down, and it kept on coming back. And then one time he accidentally got some silver nitrate in the wound... the pain was terrible. And my body knew... because the next time he operated on it, when he stuck the needle in for the local anaesthetic, my entire body broke out in a cold sweat. Completely involuntary.

That nurse was a clod, and deserves a smackdown.

Well, in all other respects he was doing good work. This was the 2nd time they were trying to treat me for the swelling, etc, and both times I was, well, less than cooperative. So on the one hand, I can understand his impatience with me; an uncooperative, squirming, swearing patient is not fun to have to deal with, I do understand that.

Buuuuut...you never "correct" the patient about their pain experience. He should've gone in an absurdist direction, like, "Well, is it as painful as being tap-dance trampled upon by 16 giant giraffs trying to win America's Got Talent in soccer-cleated shoes, all trying to use you as their practice stage??"

That might've calmed me down...because the answer would be an obvious, "Well, no, not THAT painful"...but then I'm weird that way. >.>*

Hope you feel much better soon...

[ladyofthemasque]

Thank you. I am feeling a bit better, and the wounds are looking like they're on the mend. Time will tell... *sigh*
