Got my drains out today and I didn't feel a thing! Apparently I'm still numb from the surgery and may be forever according to my doctor! But after the drains came out I got to stand in front of a mirror and just stare at my body. I have one boob with two scars above that from where my port was, I have a huge scar where my other boob used to be, stretch marks on my stomach from rapid weight gain/loss during chemo, and two holes in my side where the drains were. Most people would find this so traumatizing to see on their body, but I am so fucking proud of my scars. I feel so powerful! So basically, today has been an amazing day for me!
Gahhhh I am so happy for you and so proud!!! You are amazing!!!!
I wish I would have been around last night and I could have told you a few things about the drain removal! The new office I am at does a lot with ladies going through this process and I have gotten to meet so many awesome strong ladies who are also getting drains removed! I am glad getting them out wasn't a bad experience!
Oh I would have loved that! I was so nervous about having them removed, but my nurse assured me I wouldn't even feel it and I didn't, so that was fine with me

You are superwoman! I love your attitude and your kick ass approach to the whole thing. You're awesome and I'm SO happy things have turned out so well for you!

ttcminicofer, I am so glad you know that those scars are absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. They are a testament to your strength and a reminder that you kicked cancer's ass!
So true! I am very happy to show them off. I actually have a local photographer who has asked me if she can photograph me once I'm healed. I'm so excited

DH has been done shopping for weeks. He was also in charge of ordering DS's gifts. I am so not into it lol. I'm trying though!
At least yours is on top of it. My SO will wait until Christmas Eve and do his shopping. He is so last minute
It doesn't make us procrastinators any better when things like Amazon Prime exist! Most everything will be here Friday and I just ordered today. The best!

Haha, omg I just signed up for Amazon Prime two days ago for this reason!
I was inspired the the GTKY in the TWW thread the other day, I just picked up the first Harry Potter book and I'm in my allergists office getting my nerd on!
ETA I don't actually remember if that's the thread it was discussed in LOL

You will not regret it!!! Amazon Prime Rocks!
And I heard the new season of Transparent just came out on Amazon TV. I freaking love that show.
We had a hot chocolate bar at work today. So frickin' good. Really want to go get another one, since the HR gal just walked by telling everyone there's still plenty left.
I really shouldn't. But I so want to.
Do it! I am a bad influence, but these little treats are what makes our lives full and delicious I will gladly carry an extra 5 pounds and have the sweet memories
H called just as I was about to break down and told me he was ready to go to lunch. So I got Subway instead. Not as good, but oh well.

Hello!
Today is my day with my one of my best friends. She went and got me muffins and put candles in it and blew up a bunch of balloons for me as my day before my birthday celebration. We went outlet shopping and now we will get dinner and go to her daughter's holiday concert. Going back to NY tomorrow.

Inspired by the thread a couple of days ago, I've started putting Bailey's in my hot chocolate. It's one of the best things ever!! You should all try it if you haven't.
notagoddess , another thing I like is candy cane flavored vodka in my hot chocolate. MMMMMMMM
I didn't know candy cane vodka existed! I must try this combination
I'm not too proud to admit that this usually the brand I buy. It can be easily located on the bottom shelf of the vodka section in your local package store. LOL

I love flavored vodkas. I usually get the bacon flavored vodka and use it to make bloody Mary's. It is perfect and delicious! Jalapeño vodka is good with bloody Mary's too!
All this vodka talk has me wanting a drink. Might have to get some wine or cider when I grocery shop tonight.
I feel you on that.
I had the "Not your Father's Ginger Ale" last night and I do not recommend it.
Oh god. I hate ginger ale anyway, so alcoholic ginger ale does not sound delicious. H is always trying to get me to try this ginger beer he loves, but it's like dude... I hate ginger ale and I hate beer. WHY WOULD I LIKE THIS?

I love ginger ale, but I even think alcohol ginger ale would be gross.

This year Christmas at our house is brought to us by Amazon prime. We both had to turn off the shipping notifications.
