Hyperhidrosis Surgery

I had my surgery on Wednesday.

Axillary liposuction of the sweat glands.


Everything went really well. I felt absolutely no nausea, which was fantastic from my point of view.
Apparently, I was in recovery for an hour longer than I was expected to be, but they never told me about it, and did not tell my mum that anything was wrong.

Besides being incredibly tired - over the course of three hours after 'waking up", I think I was awake for one hour- everything was great.

My right side is more sore and bruised than my left side, which is making me slightly nervous because it was my left side that was such an issue after the first surgery.
I will be FURIOUS if I still sweat after the botox (part of the procedure) wears off in about a month, which is how long it took last time before I started sweating again.

They used special scraping tools this time, so I am bruised like a peach.

 Now I am mostly yellow, but the left seems to be healing/fading faster than the right side.


Fingers crossed that my troubles are over and it was all worth it.
I don't know what I would do if I needed a third surgery.

Aaron Does Body Suspension

I am so incredibly proud of my little brother!

On Sunday evening with the skilled professionals at Asteroid M, Aaron was lifted off of the ground by four large hooks carefully placed in the skin of his upper back.

His strength blew me away, and every time I look at the pictures taken that day, I am even more blown away.

Not only did he pull off that amazing feat, he then requested my help to push himself to the limit.

And he did this

 

I am so proud of him I could cry!

Special thanks to everyone at Asteroid M for making this possible for my brother.

 Such an incredible thing to witness, and even more to be a part of.

Surgery Countdown, BATMAN SWIMSUIT, and Squat Challenge??

Wow, it's been nearly a whole month since I updated.

I have been dealing with some shit... had a doctor recommend I look in to doing a six month trial of anti-depressants. I am seriously considering it, but I am going to leave it until after I finish with my surgery recovery.

I also had some invasive shit done with my eye because I have floaters, which they had to confirm wasn't a detached retina. Unfortunately, this meant half an hour of things touching my eyeballs and being wiggled around, including a huge lens thing. And I have to get more pictures taken of my eye on June 5th because I have a bump on my optic nerve that needs to have a better look at.
I'm just falling apart! 

My surgery is on Wednesday!
I'm simultaneously excited and dreading it at the same time. Excited to have the freedom to wear whatever I want (goodbye, insane amounts of black shirts), but not looking forward to the anesthesia. And not for the whole "There's a chance you may not wake up" crap, I trust the doctors.
What I'm worried about is my reaction to the anesthesia. Last time, I was close to being forced to stay over-night at the hospital because I was so incredibly nauseous but could not vomit. My body HATES letting me vomit, so I get stuck with feeling like dying for hours at a time. Not fun.

I will be off work from May 27th (surgery day) to June 14th (My Birthday!!), back to work June 15th.
So, I get to hang out with my best friend on the first and spend the whole day watching Gargoyles! Aww, yiss

Today I went shopping at my favourite store, Blame Betty, and second favourite store, Earth Gems, and third, DavidsTea, with my mum!
I got something from every single place.

My mum got me an amazing dress and skirt from Blame Betty, I got myself two amazing quartz specimens from Earth Gems, and I got some tea, too!

I believe tonight my brother is going to be doing some body suspensions (not for the feint of heart) and I will probably be going with him for moral support. I have never seen anything like it in person, so this should be interesting!


Right. The title mentions the SQUAT CHALLENGE.
I think I'm going to be doing this. I have gaied quite a bit of weight lately, all in my ass and thighs... so I think this squat challenge would be perfect for me.
Thirty day challege of squats, a break every fourth day, with increased number of squats every day.

I can do this!!! I am tough! I need an awesome ass and thighs for my BADASS new swimsuit!

Be jealous!! ahhhhhhhh

I will post pictures of my awesome Blame Betty buys when I am wearing them next. They are great!
And probably of my quartz buys too...

I'll do something at the end of the month of all the great crap I have bought. I'm going to have lots of free time.


Okay, bye

WOOHOO!

I'm going to Lion King!!!!


That's all for now.
I'm just insanely excited.

I can't wait for August!!
