Great news!! I looked at the old pictures of my left (pink) nipple 2 or so months ago and one I took yesterday. The brown around the edges have spread towards the center. Not entirely covered but would be interesting to see if the next few months, it spreads even more. Poor nipple! I also… Continue reading top surgery | nipple & scar update
Was rubbing my right nipple, the flat one… could feel the slightest sensation in the nipple and felt the nipple become erect under my finger. That spun me out, I didn’t think that could be possible. Both of them got perky from change of temperature after shower but never thought it would react to touch.… Continue reading top surgery | nipple sensation?!
The past week or so, been having dull aching in my chest at random moments and I feel (painless but weird-feeling) stretching when I try to push heavy object above my head into the pantry.

I didn’t have this… Continue reading top surgery | four days post-op
3 Days Post-Op: The surgeon saw me and is quite happy for me to go home so I got the drains removed, the nurse undid the suction effect and waited 10 minutes, she says this helps make the process of removing drains less painful. I didn’t feel any pain at all when she removed them, just… Continue reading top surgery | three days post-op
2 Days Post-Op: Feeling lots better now that the nausea has almost cleared up and off the fluids and pain relief pump onto oral painkillers. Have felt some tingling almost like sparks of electricity dancing across my chest, no doubt it is my nerves waking up or reconnecting. The surgeon saw me yesterday (Wednesday) and… Continue reading top surgery | two days post-op
Hysterectomy has been weighing on my mind the past few days. The more research I do, the more clarity I have over my decision to move forward with the procedure. I have been feeling a heavy sensation in my lower abdomen, mostly in the evening. I occasionally get what’s called ovary cramps, sharp pain on… Continue reading hysterectomy thoughts
