-1 Day and Counting

I am just 1 day out from having my breast reduction surgical procedure done. I am a size 44 DDD, and I am having reduction surgery to get to a single D. I was even contemplating going down to a C, but my dr. advises against it, says that a C will appear flat to me and he did not recommend it. This is new territory for me, and I've waited so long to get down to a size where I can elect not to wear a bra if I don't want to. To not have my back constantly hurt all of the time, to have bruises and scars on my shoulders from the weight of my breast. Even when I lose weight, my breast stay the same, so this procedure will be a welcome change.

I celebrated with my girl friend tonight with a nice seafood dinner. We agreed that tomorrow should be a light eating day and doctor's orders are nothing by mouth after midnight. So it is time to go into the zone and see myself covered with healing light and know that my Guardian Angels are with me always, and especially now.

I have been given my prescriptions for pain and antibiotics in advance. I will pick them up tomorrow. I've notified my employer that I will be out of work for several days due to a medical matter. Time sheets are in, and insurance has been taken care of, so now the only thing I have to do is the procedure, rest and recuperate.

I am filled with anticipation of my new body image. I have an entire plan that includes liposuction and a tummy tuck, but that will follow the breast reduction. Financially, I can't handle all of it at once, and I think I would want to heal a little at a time anyway. Stay tuned.

Memory of the day: I am thankful for the energy of healing light and love that surrounds me.
