I got an email from my plastic surgeon’s office today with my pre-surgery paperwork. None of it reassuring. It was the risks with fat grating. Risks with liposuction. Risks with surgery. With anesthesia. With medications and smoking. No Tylenol, no vitamins, no alcohol. Yikes. I’m not going to lie, reading all of got me feeling a little nervous.

On a positive health note, my last screening (colon!) came back fine, so that’s finally off my worry list. And I got my second Covid booster today. Now I can focus these next few weeks on staying healthy and getting through my reconstruction surgery next month. I’m so thankful I’m almost done.
