Ok, I have to admit something. It's temper tantrum time. So there's your warning. Continue reading at your own risk...
I WANT MY IMPLANTS
There I said it. I'm sick of feeling pain when I sleep on my side, of not getting good sleep because of constantly tossing and turning. I'm sick of the sound it makes when I accidentally hit my boob. I'm sick of feeling like I have a tight bra on and never being able to take it off. I'm sick of the hardness of my boobs. I'm sick of holding back at the gym because if I move wrong I get a weird feeling in my chest. I'm sick of the pockets of fat that have accumulated under my arms. I'm sick of when I do normal things, like eating, my chest muscles contract and my boob moves slightly. And I'm sick of not haviing nipples.
I've tried to be patient. I really have. I'm a GOOD patient. When my PS said late winter/early spring for the exchange I didn't throw a fit. I didn't toss my purse across the room and stamp my feet in protest. I didn't start banging my fists against the exam table. I didn't hurl my cell phone in her direction. I merely smiled and said "Whatever you think is best"
I had an appointment to see my PS tomorrow. When the office called and said they needed to reschedule and then said "Hmm..you're post-op aren't you? SInce August? Well..we may not be able to get you in this month" I MIGHT have gotten a bit agitated. When Leigh Ann, Dr. Cooper's scheduler called me a few minutes later, I told her I was very sorry but I was tired of waiting. She luckily understood and managed to get me in Dec. 19 (after I desparately explained that I just wanted a DATE for my surgery)
I've tried to forget about it. I've ignored the FORCE message board and only occasionally read blogs. I've decorated for Christmas, started to eat too much, crammed for finals, and stressed about not having money to get all of my Christmas shopping done (all Christmas traditions).
I will say this...I can't stand reading peoples posts about how excited they are about getting their exchange surgery date, or how smoothly recovery is going for them. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for them but it makes me sad and jealous. I want this SO bad!
Once I see my PS again, I'm sure I'll feel better. If not, I can always ask for another prescription for Xanex
im not offering any comfort here, but Dont forget if you want to read about someone else miserably set back there is always my blog! It does suck that you have to wait so long. I get a little tired of the people who just assume I'm recovering fine and everything went well and they don't know I have weird cotton filled forms inside my bra... Not Boobs! Sounds like You should be having your exchange around the time I will get my expanders put back. It feels like a looooong time to wait.
ReplyDeleteHa yeah I know you've had your own share of issues :( It sucks hearing about everyone breezing through the surgery like it's no big thing and proudly showing off their implants. I'm looking at my blog roll and I see where people are posting "1 year post-op" and it is going to take us a long long time to get through the whole stinkin process.
ReplyDeleteHope you're able to keep your mind off of things and I'm glad to read your (physically) starting to heal!
