I had a great day today, lol. That might seem odd when I tell you what I actually did this morning...
This morning my husband and I went in for our annual physical. By "annual" I mean every 5-7 years...oops...anyway, as usual I had to talk my husband into going because he would avoid all things like that but at the same time we were both looking forward to it because we'd either get a clean bill of health or just know if we had something to deal with. Win-win either way.
I have been worried about my blood pressure, especially since my headaches seem to have ramped up again. And my mom has high blood pressure and both my parents have diabetes so that's always a concern. I hate when they ask for family history and then you realize all the things you are at risk for. But that's why I need to be healthier because I can be in control of a lot of that. Anyway, I heard all good things. He was very happy with my blood pressure (yay!) and everything else, he saw no concerns anywhere. And same with my husband, so we left there quite happy :) Of course we still have to wait for the blood tests to come back but hopefully all will be okay there too. And because my sister had breast cancer I also have to go for a mammogram but it's preventative so I am not worrying.
Anyway...the thing that made me the happiest...and stop reading here cause this part gets quite personal...is that my doctor asked me if I was happy with my breasts. I have very large breasts. I know, I said I would post pictures and I will, I promise. Anyway, I said of course I wasn't. He asked if I considered surgery. Him and I had talked about it many years ago (20?) when I first started seeing him and at the time my question was (because I had done some research and was pretty sure I already knew the answer) would I lose the sensation in my nipples. The answer at the time was "yes". I said I couldn't do it. Sex is already low on my list of priorities, if I lost that we might as well call it a day (said it was personal...). But...the answer has changed, now that doesn't happen anymore (or at least a very low percentage). Of course with the passing of so much time many improvements would have been made but I was so happy to hear that! I will never have "small" breasts, but I could have "smaller" breasts, like by 2 or 3 cup sizes. The end result is that he is referring me and within a year or so I could have smaller breasts! I love it! I keep thinking about how that will be...for running...for golfing...for back pain...for shopping...how much weight will I lose that week I have surgery?? I don't know if it's weird or not but I am excited about it. I'm not discussing this with my family at this point, just with my husband and you fine folks :) Won't that make for some interesting before and after pictures? lol
One last note: I was violated in all ways I knew were going to happen at my appointment and while my husband was worried about the ways he was going to be violated, it didn't happen for him! We discussed this before hand where he was trying to tell me how awful it was going to be for him and I had to explain what they do to me, so we agreed it was fair we both had to go through it. But he didn't...I felt ripped off. So he apologized for not being violated by the doctor and I felt better...bit of a weird conversation, no? lol

I am serrrriously jealous!! Of the reduction haha, not being prodded at. Congrats to you! Something like that can change your life and change the way you feel about yourself. I'd feel so much more confident if my boobies were smaller!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I hadn't thought about that but yeah, think I will definitely feel more confident, maybe someday I will actually see a picture of me that I like, you never know...the possibilities seem endless...but I sure like imagining them.
DeleteLOL well Gord sucks. But I think we can handle that kind of stuff soo much better than guys anyways. You would never hear the end of it im sure lol
ReplyDeleteIm glad you guys had a clean bill of health though :)
I often worry about mom and dad, especially mom, well I worry about her constantly, but they are just so unhealthy, and then I look at myself and the only difference is I dont smoke. I dont want to have all the issues my mom has when Im her age. I need to get serious and just do this!
I have back pain from my boobs too and they aren't even as big as yours, so I can't imagine how bad they are for you.
Im excited for you to have that surgery at some point. Plus at that time you will be much smaller and then to lose the boobage, you will def have a good WI that week lol
I worry about your mom too :( but with her recent good news hopefully things will start to turn around for her.
DeleteBut I completely agree with you. We might have to deal with something like she had to and I have watched people who were healthy go through that and the toll it took on them was much less, so we can definitely help ourselves out by having a good starting point.
Mostly all I heard in this post was "they aren't as big as yours" jerk, lol. Okay, I get it though, lol. Yes, I am very excited and I hope I don't have to wait forever to hear about my first appointment. This does motivate me to keep doing what I am doing cause I need to make sure my stomach doesn't end up way bigger than my boobs!
