In much less mopey news, Josh and I are heading to Toronto to see John Mayer tomorrow. We'll drop Piper off with my parents along the way, and we're splitting a hotel with one of my best friends, and her boyfriend, who I'm excited to get to know more. They made a surprise trip up here for my birthday party, but with trying to host and mingle and all of that, I didn't get to spend as much one-on-one time with the boyfriend as I'd have liked. After quite a long time with a guy I didn't much care for (other than to look at) I'm really glad that Lauren seems to be so happy, and so well-cared for with this guy.
I'm working nights this weekend, which is trash. I'm already praying they aren't overly busy, but long weekends usually are.
I saw a plastic surgeon last month, and she approved my reconstruction! I'm so so so excited about it, but also nervous. Honestly, I was terrified that she'd reject me, tell me that it wasn't possible to do what I want done. Fortunately that anxiety was for naught, and she agrees that the type of surgery I want (DIEP flap reconstruction) is the best option for me. I was concerned that my weight would be reason to turn me away, and thankfully I was wrong, however she did ask that I lower my BMI, which is embarassing as hell to be told, but wasn't unexpected. I've been quietly but steadily working on that, and if I can lose another 3 lbs in 2 weeks, I'll have lost 20 lbs in 2 months, which I'm happy about. I see my surgeon again in December for an update, and to plan things out in more detail. Her waiting list is quite long -- the surgery takes 8+ hours, so it's not like she's banging out a bunch of them every day -- so I actually have some time to lose weight, and plan my recovery time (I'll be off work for 8ish weeks).
I think that's about all that's on my mind at the moment. Now to go cuddle up with my honey and try to catch up on the final season of Elementary. À bientôt.
