“So I’m currently experiencing some delayed sadness and frustration by having time to process what IS happening.”;

“Again thats my journey. I’m sure others felt and did it different.

“But for me I didn’t think beyond the surgery. I was just being strong.

“Well now I’m here and letting myself be angry and sad and all the things. Just for a few days. Then I will sew some padding in a bra to even them out order some t shirts and crack tf on.”;

“She whipped that thang out so quick. Woiii oii. Weirdest feeling.

“But so nice to have it out after 12 days. Now it’s just me and my wonky boobs trying to figure out how to dress until I match them up.

“The left one is looking at the right one like ‘you ok babe?’”;
