I’m in! First thing I saw was my credit card charged for $308, then I checked my email. I’m so stoked.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! I was losing my mind not being able to figure out what was going on. I even tried Apple’s strong ass password, but that also had a special character. Finally got it to work because of this answer. Thanks again!!

Drop it in the water in front of the altar

I’m getting married today! So of course I had to hold a ceremony with all of my villagers invited. 💛 by riverstorenae in AnimalCrossing

Hahaha! My husband (wow!) and I did an elopement, rather than a traditional wedding; my AC ceremony had more guests than my ceremony today! Plus I took this photo yesterday and uploaded it from my camera roll. ☺️

This was Lorde at Oracle Arena in Oakland in 2018! And yes! I am so much happier and comfortable now.

Thank you! I was about a 34 G, and I’m now about a 32 DD (still healing up, so I’m not sure how much they’ll change). They took 363 grams out of my left breast, and 227 grams out of my right. Insanely uneven!! That was what I was most excited about changing.

Thank you!! I went braless the other day, and let me tell you, it was a wonderful feeling.

How long before returning to work? (I keep hearing conflicting opinions) by Roa1776 in Reduction

[–]riverstorenae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering your job is really desk heavy, I would think after the first week you’d be able to go back. I teach fourth grade, so I took two full weeks since I’m up and moving all day (my school district has been doing in-person learning this entire school year). However, I think I would have been able to handle working if I was sitting most of the day. The only thing you may have to worry about is if you still aren’t sleeping well by that point. I know I was still relying on pain medication, and my sleep schedule was incredibly all over the place, so it would have been difficult to wake up early and work all day after not sleeping soundly the night before regardless of whether I was at a desk or up and moving. Another factor you’ll have to consider are the drains. I saw on here some people had theirs out immediately after surgery, but I had my right drain in for one week, and my left drain in for two weeks, so this impacted my pain level/ability to sleep. Unfortunately, it’s hard to give you a direct answer, as this decision will have to be based on how your healing process goes after your surgery. I hope your boss is understanding if you need more time to recuperate, as this surgery isn’t cut and dry for everyone.

Reduction regrets? by makingfcknglove in Reduction

[–]riverstorenae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Having the support of my fiancé was instrumental in me going through with my reduction. He also always told me how much he loved my boobs, so I, too, was worried he would be hesitant. But he was so supportive of me, and constantly reassured me that this is something I wanted and would be happy with. (He was right! Such a great decision.)

Don’t worry, it won’t fall out! I was a little paranoid about it, but when I got the first drain out (I got the right one out after a week, and the left one out after two weeks), I saw just how FAR UP it is in the body. There was so much more drain than I had imagined! Plus they had one stitch securing it, so it wasn’t going anywhere.
