Noobs Eve
Tomorrow (Tuesday, the 12th) is my exchange surgery! My foobs will go from temp to hire.
Here is an explanation of the reconstruction process. Dr. Corbett says the surgery itself should only take about half an hour. I have to be there at 6 in the morning and the surgery will start around 8. It's at Jewish Hospital East, out by DuPont Circle, and it's an outpatient procedure.
From now on, February 12 will be my foobs' birthday. There has been talk of two pinkish, round, side-by-side cakes... Or maybe we can have lots of little foob cupcakes, and have a cupcake decorating contest, to help me pick out my tattoo! If I was really dark I'd stick a gumball in one, where the tumor used to be, and give a prize to whoever gets that piece! And I don't even have to tell you what kind of prize (a booby prize - see what I did there?!).
Of course, the universe has decided to open up and blast us with 6 or so inches of snow and ice, so getting there will be an adventure. Foobs on Ice! The Foob-capades!
I'm going to ask Dan to post here when I'm done, to let everyone know how it went. If you want updates, you can text the poor dear - he'll probably be sitting around in the waiting room going a little nutty. Text him at 502-396-3774 or by emailing 5023963774@vtext.com.
Thanks for all the good wishes! I'll be laid up for about a week and on heavy medication for part of that time... I'll try not to PWP (phone while on Percocet), but if you see my number on the caller ID, brace yourself!
P.S. A few people have asked questions about nipples, so I'm going to write about those next. Making myself a note here so I don't forget. Stay tuned if you like to hear a hot, duck-butt-headed, foobulous woman talk about nipples (and who doesn't?). Or, oh my god: fipples?!?!??!?!?
