Today starts another long streak of doctor appointments mixed in between huge life achievement celebrations for my kids. It seems only appropriate that it all starts up again two years after my bi-lateral surgery.
The big question is whether to do away with the painful implants altogether, opt for more invasive surgery, or stick it out and finally get nipples. Yes, I said it...as if it were like getting a pedicure. The odd thing is having boobs without nipples is strangely like looking at a face in the mirror every morning that has no eyes. It looks unnatural and is a definite reminder of everything that has transpired.
So, I will enjoy seeing my son's premier of his short film in Chicago, see him graduate from college, see my daughter perform at the Pabst Theatre, and in there, somewhere between working and driving, go visit my oncologist, my regular doctor, and then Dr. Creepy....or should we now call him Nipple Man?
I am confident I will come out of that doctor visit with some good stories.
