OK Back again...

OK, sorry about the short post previously, I was in a bit of a tizzy as I had gotten some very bad news about a very good friend. Now he is doing better and I can concentrate a little bit more.

So, she has boobies now. I haven't seen them yet, but be sure that when I do I will let you know what I think. They have them wrapped up right now and will be unwrapping them on Sunday.

I have had a couple people ask me if this is going to change our relationship at all. I have put a lot of thought into it lately, and I have to say that if anything, I think that it will change it for the better. I know that I have talked about this before, but that is when it was just something coming up. Now it's done and I have to really think about it. I know that it will be fun, and it will be easier on us in some ways as she will be more womanly looking and not have to deal with so much BS from the general public, but beyond that... like I always say, a day at a time.

The only scary part was when she had to go to the hospital yesterday because she was having bad cramping in her legs. Turns out that being off her meds for the surgery had the side effect of dropping her potassium level down. Good thing is they caught it, so that is being taken care of and will not become a major issue now. On the other hand, it was a few hours of twitchiness that I really didn't need :)

OK, I think that is all for now. I will be posting sometime next week I'm sure, unless I get all done up and have to do a Thanksgiving post as well :)

Make sure you eat all you can on Thursday, and enjoy the friends and family in your life. Remember, Family is what you make it. Just because someone is not married or related by blood does not mean that they are not family, just that they are family you chose.

They're in!!

Well, she is now a double D.

Everything went well and she should be back at the end of next week or the beginning of the week after that depending on the bus schedules.

I would write more, but we just got some bad news that a close friend is not doing well, so I will leave you with this for now. Live like it is your last day, love like you have never loved before and experience every little thing to the fullest for you never know when your time will come.

War and Peace

OK, I know it is a rather long novel, but it also seems to be a good way to define our relationship some days.

She came back from NYC and we have been doing well, getting everything ready for the big day, talking, all that good stuff.

She told me that now that this is a reality to her, that she feels a kind of peace with the world type feeling and wants to start over and not be so bitchy.... best way I can describe it without going into a long dissertation as she did... Anyways... things have indeed been better. No knife wielding, no knock down drag out fights. The house is in great shape from both our efforts (did a little redecorating as we went too, worked out very nicely). And then we got the phone call.

Because of a kink in the surgeon's schedule, she needed to move the surgery date. Fortunately, it was sooner than later. Now she is going on for the enhancement on the 17th and being unwrapped on Thanksgiving as the Doctor leaves the next day. On top of all this, I lost my full time job. (donations accepted, e-mail for paypal details :))

So here we are, in a bit of a holding pattern for the next week and a half until she goes down the NYC for the surgery. Now, though, she is also getting the pre-op jitters it seems. It all kinda hit her the other day that she is actually getting it done and all. Then she tells me how she found all this bad info on the doc, I went online to check it out and realized that this is nothing more than one or maybe two people who had a bad experience and are running their mouths about it. Thing is, I don't care who you are, if you are a plastic surgeon who has been working in the field for 35 years and is board certified, I figure you must have some small idea what the hell you're doing. Of course, in the course of 35 years, I also figure that anyone who tells you they were never sued is also likely to be a liar as well, especially in that business. Hell, I cut hair and I know what it is like to have people come in with unreal expectations and not get the point that you can't work magic.

So we are getting through this a day at a time, I'm working on trying to be down there for the surgery, but since we just had a stylist walk out, I don't know how much flexibility we are going to have here.

Hope this finds you all well and getting ready for Thanksgiving. I am trying to keep this updated more often now, especially since I only have the one job to tie up my time now :)
