My Chest Surgery and Hysterectomy Chronicles

I created this blog about 6 weeks before my chest surgery and hysterectomy. As of June 16th, 2009, I will no longer have breasts or a menstrual cycle. The end result is what matters most to me right now. I will finally be at home in my own body. I want to start capturing my thoughts, feelings and emotions "on paper" during the weeks leading up to my surgeries and during the weeks following my surgeries. These are life changing times that are worth capturing.

The Month Has Arrived

I couldn't go to bed without writing that today is day 1 of THE MONTH! June has finally arrived and as I try my hardest to feel sleepy, I can't help but think that I have 15 nights of sleep and 14 days until I wake up bright and early and go to the hospital for surgery. It is within reach and it feels so good.

I have calmed down a bit from my earlier post. I think I have written and talked about my nipples enough that I am less freaked out about it. I think I know what I am going to do, but I need to sleep on it a night or two to be sure. It feels good to have my perspective (mostly) back. All I can do is make the most of the next 15 nights and 14 days.
