I was freaking out! What just came out of me? Was it important? Was it a body part? Sheesh. You'd think the doctor might say something about the lump of stuff that would one day plop into the toilet...or God forbid out in public somewhere. Anyway, I get it.<br /><br />And the struggle. Well...count me among the struggling. Right now it's all just hard. I had a breast reduction last year. They're lopsided. Just sayin'.<br /><br />Hang in there.

I love birds. Something else we have in common.<br /><br />Second, in my experience, many brilliant surgeons are social morons. They spend a great deal of time in school learning to do difficult things, then when they do the difficult things, they get accolades and that does not make them more socialized. I'd rather have a good surgeon with a terrible bed side manner than a bad surgeon with an amazing bed side manner. Not everyone has the capability of being socially adept. I realize, that's me. I will say that sometimes I think some surgeons may be afraid if they let you get close to them, they can't do their jobs. I know it's not a good answer. Oh. I would ask him what can be done about the expanders. It's bothering you. Ask the questions. Always, always ask the questions. You have that right. And it will make everything easier if you know the answers. And if they say something like because X and X doesn't make sense to you, ask why. Or what does that mean. And keep asking until you do understand. <br /><br />Third, I have been struggling <i>hard</i> on many fronts lately. Not the one you are, I know. I would not compare mine to yours. But still: hard. Struggle. I would rather be doing taxes and who wants to do that? Not even the people who are paid to do taxes. Suffice to say that I believe in you and know this is (annoyingly) part of the process. You're amazing and wonderful and in my experience we struggle until we make sense of something or until we realize there isn't a way to make sense of it. I think that's what blaming is about: trying to find a way for something senseless (someone like you dealing with all of this) to make sense. It's one of the ways we process this crazy stuff.<br /><br />You are special and important to me and I am thinking every type of good thought there is to you. More hugs, but only if you want them.<br /><br />xxx Em35jupehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11645119202127311140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-50827771791057805812012-03-21T14:17:06.259-04:002012-03-21T14:17:06.259-04:00Thinking of you and hoping things get better.Thinking of you and hoping things get better.Jessica Salyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00227752359369023249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-91939967962331123402012-03-21T14:01:14.352-04:002012-03-21T14:01:14.352-04:00Hugs to you today.
