I debated posting this one, but since there's no blood or naked pics, I guess it's okay. LOL I recently had a breast reduction to help with extreme back pain. It was deemed medically necessary because of the damage to my back. So I went ahead with it. Being a scrapbooker, of course I had to document it. I did so with a class layout from the Type+Writer 2 from Jessica Sprague.

Journaling:

Wednesday: I've wanted breast reduction surgery since I was sixteen years old. Finally, the day came! I was terrified, but so excited. Mom and Ronnie waited for me to come out.

Thursday: I spent the night in the hospital after the surgery. It was painful, but worth it. When I got released, Mom brought me to my follow up appointment, then home.

Friday: The next day I was in a lot of pain, but glad to be home. I had to sleep sitting up in the recliner because of the swelling. I can't believe how much smaller my chest is!

Saturday: Brandon has been angry with me because I can't pick him up lately. Usually, I'm the one cuddling and wrestling him. I feel so bad about it!

Sunday: I took a photo of the box of bandaging materials Mom got me. I didn't realize the surgery would be this much work! Ronnie has been helping me change them.

Monday: I finally felt good enough to sit up and check email. I made myself a little nest in my desk chair with pillows, and Germ-X close by.

Tuesday: Aunt Laura took me for my follow up appointment and the surgeon removed the drain tubes. OUCH! Then Laura bought me my first new bra. She rocks!
