It is time to let shed these old, old fears. Simply the time to do it. In the company of my family and friends, while we are healthy and together, it is time to give this up.
MMBW reminded me to take a photo before I went under the knife, so I transmitted this photo across the ocean to her, of me, age 22, pre-op:
I told her the Doc already had too many pre-op photos for my comfort (as does she, for that matter), but I went ahead and documented this instant for posterity, as proof of modern medical miracles: the girl who was saved from her demons by reconstructive cosmetic surgery!
I guess the irony is that I kind of like this picture of my present self- which is to really say that I am content with the circumstances that I see reflected. As I drop these old fears, let me find new gratitute for circumstance and the good folks who shape it.
See y'all on the other side...perhaps at my postponed birthday party on the 17th!?
