Plot twist, I'm doing great

Healing, accepting, growing, building and I'm still bad, baby

I’m a patchwork skin-quilt. I’m Frankentits. I’m a sawing magic trick gone horribly wrong. My scars are a geometric work of art I’m not entirely comfortable with yet. But, I’m great. My surgery had no complications and I had excellent help from Mom and others. The only thing I need now is a new bathing suit, something a little more modest on the lower half. Out with implants and in with nice, jiggly knockers built from actual scratch.

I’ll be honest. This surgery was humbling. Nine hours in surgery, 4 days in the hospital, 2 weeks in an electric home hospital bed, and another 4 weeks of walking like Quasimodo…it’s been interesting and hard, but I know now that I can get through anything.

Today is a celebration though! Today I am 8 years cancer free! I’m in Nashville celebrating a dear friend’s wedding and the whole trip has been a magical, energizing love bomb; the perfect lead up to today.

Cancer did try to take so much from me but he hasn’t succeeded. I turn my pain into champagne.

And today in Nashville, there will be music and champagne and grins ear to ear, sorta like how the last few days at James and Jenny Beth’s wedding have already provided. There’s so much to celebrate! I can’t complain. Make it a great day, y’all!!
