Personally when I was to have Cancer surgery it looked like prostate and colon cancer. I had the desire for orchiectomy due to the lesser need for chemo and movement toward the feminine. As luck would have it my multiple tests were negative for Cancer from two rectal exams a blood panel a sonogram and four biopsies.Again if I ever am moody or even bitchy just chalk it up to my hormones moderating.
Maybe, because I'm stubborn, have weird resistance to pain with a meaning and I'm definitely not scared to do big life decisions which have risks involved. Maybe its foolishness, but I believe that life is short and its better to do than regret things I never tried. I was pleasantly surprised that the pain of the surgery itself and recovery aren't worse than what it is. Its hard, but bearable, but definitely not for faint of heart or anyone with low pain threshold.
That's a lucky call with the cancer scare. Cancers are like fucking demons! I've seen enough friends fight that and my cousin who was my bestie at that time, died to brain cancer at age eight. Thankfully screening and treatments today are so much better and going forward all the time. (Quietly wishing luck for Lotus fighting the darn leukemia.)
And then little update, post op day two, the pains are here and being just as adorable friend as yesterday, but already getting slightly easier to withstand. Last night I woke up to massive burning aches and decided to take a codeine pill as it lasts for nice long time and works quickly. And it did, I'm feeling ok now. The pressure cloth was super tight all night and it felt like it caused me more trouble than the pain itself. First day of having 2-3 hour break now and second one in evening. I also did mild exercise, some stretches, walking around a bit, getting my back on the move. Today is when I can slowly start gently massaging the lipo areas. They're very numb, some parts of my back have no sensation on skin yet. This might take more than a month to recover. I presume there's a load of nerves that have to regrow now that the tissues have been dramatically changed.
My waist and hips are starting to show up like crazy, it looks amazing! It seems as if my hips got wider, but that's the effect of changing proportions. Also my waist keeps reducing as the swelling is starting to go away. Boobs have lost some swelling too and their shape looks more natural. Its amazingly good for just two days post op, there's load of swelling hiding the results and I'm already loving everything. And keeping in mind this is just the first phase, second major one will come along with fixing every tiny detail of what was worked on now. It'll be so mind blowing what this does, I'm sure of it. And now time for breakfast and coffee, I was adviced to eat calorie rich food so slimming down will be on back burner for now, I'll still keep the aminos and fasting going on as usual, just make sure I eat a lot of good stuff in between.
