Things are coming along really well. Since my last procedure my chest is healing up really nice and looking even better. I am still going to the gym and I am trying to take it easy but its hard. Sometimes I do too much...and hurt myself...but I am learning my lessons for sure. I can always tell when I hurt myself because its almost like I feel a slight tear in my chest. Nothing does tear of course...but that is just what the pain feels like. So I am currently avoiding doing stomach exercises and chest ones for now. I don't know how much longer I will need to... but I will figure it out.
Adjusting to life as a skinny person is still odd. I feel like I have ZERO idea how to speak to the male population without coming off like I am hitting on them. I am learning that even friendly chatting can be taken as flirting. And sometimes I don’t have to do anything...they just notice me and immediately give me a “look”, or say something that implies something else. It is strange and I am adapting. I don’t want to give people the wrong idea of course.
But it is natural I think as well for me to like and even appreciate some of the attention. Trying to not let it go to my head of course. People compliment me or say how pretty I look and I just try to remind myself that although it is great to look nice, it is not the most important thing and that what really matters is showing God’s love to others. I have been trying to read my Bible at work....and discuss church more in front of people...in the hopes to have those kinds of conversations come up. Then I can say what a huge blessing from God this surgery has been...and give him the glory.
I have an appointment coming up in August. I may or may not need one more small procedure on my right breast but that should be it. I thought I was done....but Dr. Dinick really seems to want to do a couple more fixes. They are ones that I agree with too...so it’s all good. I want things looking the best they can as well. :) I will write another update later. Bye for now. :)
