Good Night Boobs :)

#goodnightboobs

My Preventative Double Mastectomy is less than 12 hours away and I don’t feel any different than I did last week or the week before. I am not really scared. I am not really nervous. My anxiety level is surprising low. I don’t really feel much right now.

I know what I am doing is going to decrease my chance of getting breast cancer tremendously. That piece of knowledge over powers any other feelings I could possible encounter the night before a major surgery.

What I am doing is a good thing. Having a preventive double mastectomy was not a brave decision I got to make. It was a necessity. I GET to have the upper hand with breast cancer tomorrow. I GET to take preventative measures, and I AM so happy and excited to do so. Happy and excited are the emotions I have right now because I AM in charge and in control of my life.

My condo is clean, my closest and dresser drawers are organized, my kitchen cabinets and fridge are full; I feel like a new woman. Preparing to be out of commission for six weeks has been a whirlwind because I finally got around to doing things I have been putting off for a long time. With the help of my family, my condo is back in tip-top shape and I couldn’t feel more relaxed about it.

My pillows are fluffed for my arrival home later this week, I ate my favorite last meals, my prescriptions are filled, and my hospital bags are finally packed. I have read a million blogs, followed a bunch of check lists and did all my research. I am ready to rock and roll.

Now it is time for the real R&R (remove and reconstruct). Let’s get this party started, so I can finally recover and relax!

Peace - Jenna
