No but seriously, I'm alive!

Y'all, I feel like instead of sharing a traditional birth story I should share the birth of new boobs.
Apparently it was all pretty hilarious. Before anesthesia, when I was in the OR I told everyone how legitimately scared of dying I was. I said, "I'm fuc...never mind, I don't know y'all well enough to just drop an F-bomb so casually." A nurse looks down at me inches from my face and said, "FUCK!" I loved her for that!
When they brought me out of anesthesia I grabbed the anesthesiologist and hysterically cried...like way ugly cried, thanking him for keeping me alive.
My only request, literally was that I woke up with Vaseline on my lips. When I did I asked the nurses who did it and one nurse said it was her. I told her she will get two thank you cards. I bet she was thrilled...not! I also said, "the woman who said, "fuck!" to me in the OR will also get two thank you cards." The nurses were surprised I remembered the OR 30 seconds before being put under.
I'm doing this whole procedure with no pain killers because of a super thick immediate family history of addiction. I know it's extremely dramatic, but I can't help it, nor can I risk it having this new beautiful family of mine (DH and kids), I refuse to allow the cycle to continue. One nurse was really adamant that it's not a good idea and I should reconsider. She wouldn't drop it and I wanted to nut punch her!
By 4:30 a.m. the first night I was wondering if she was right.
Also, I buckled at the hospital and made it clear that i'd rather be small than too big. Right when I came out of the OR I asked what size they went...I got a little sad with their response. Now I'm reminding myself anything is an improvement. My boobs needed the help. They had to use two different sizes and profiles and the sizes were TWO sizes difference. That's pretty extreme, I guess.
Anyway, I'm certain you all wanted that story so you are absolutely welcome. Ha ha!
Also, based on past conversations I know how y'all feel about "y'all". I can't help it... It's in my DNA!

Re: No but seriously, I'm alive!
So, you're totally going to show us a pic when you're healed, right?
And thanks for the story! Great entertainment for a Monday

I hope you have a speedy recovery.
I'll for sure post a before/after picture when these bad girls settle. As of now they are in my collar bone....that's where boobs go, right? Don't fear...I'll wear clothes in my pictures.
As for the med free part? It ended up really being fine. There were moments that I wished I had something, but I feel like at this point it's a matter of proving to myself that I can do it! I was singing a different tune when I thought the nurse secretly pulled a knife out of her pocket and just stabbed me and wouldn't stop; she definitely wanted me dead. The truth is that they were taking out my right drain and it happened to be wrapped around a nerve. It was not good. Left drain yesterday came out flawlessly.
Thanks for your support, it's been an interesting journey!
I came hoping for a picture. Damnit! haha. Glad you're back in action.
Also, what a whore! Mine are two different sizes too. Tell her to shove it!

As for that lady..... you should have said, "what do you mean?" and let her explain. Then reply with something that sounds very serious, like... "I was born with a defect and my breasts had completely different placement. The doctors corrected the issue as much as they could, but they still weren't able to make them even. I'm not sure why you would say something so rude to someone."
Also happy to hear I'm not alone in the off size boobs. Before the good ole augmentation there was a rather large difference. Now it's not as noticeable. Or perhaps it is....bitch!
Ha ha!!!
Congrats and welcome to the big boobies club!
