A little while ago I wrote this post. I saw the doctor a few days ago and she said that everything is looking fine. The healing is at the stage it should be after eleven weeks. There's still some hardness, but that will likely go away, and even if it doesn't, everything still looks pretty good ( Read more... )

Slight problem on the surgery healing front. Apparently my right side is not healing quite like it should. It will probably only be a cosmetic issue. (Absolute worst case scenario is I lose my areola, but that doesn't seem likely.) I've been given strict orders to stop riding my bike, and I'm trying to be extremely careful with my right side ( Read more... )

First of all, what the fuck, Colorado weather? I've gotten used to the seventy degree January days, and I've realized that it's never more wintry than in late April, but it's nearly June, so these grey, wet days have to stop. Or at least don't go changing it so much. Google weather said it would be seventy one degrees today, so I dressed for that. ( Read more... )

So, I had my breast reduction surgery a few days ago. Things are definitively smaller, though I'll have to wait until the swelling goes down to get a fully accurate picture ( Read more... )

So, I had consultation for breast reduction surgery today. Good news: I like the surgeon. Bad news: It's highly unlikely (nigh impossible) that insurance will cover it. My breasts aren't big enough for insurance to deem it "medically necessary." Which is annoying, because, as the surgeon explained, it's not about size, it's about how proportional ( Read more... )

I finally had my surgery yesterday--the one that was going to diagnose and possibly treat endometriosis. I was certain that I had endometriosis. So was my mother. My doctor diagnosed it with 90% certainty.

Well, always look at out for that 10%. As, it turns out, I do not have endometriosis. I have primary dysmenorrhea. Actually, it explains my ( Read more... )

I've finally beginning to make progress on the endometriosis issue. I was going a little crazy being passed from one doctor to another, but I've finally found a doctor to do laparoscopic surgery, which would both confirm that have the disease and let them remove the endometriosis itself. Now, removing the endometriosis doesn't solve the problem. ( Read more... )
