When I got home from my surgery, I remember resting in bed, in our remodeled master bedroom, with my iPad on my lap. I was browsing Amazon.com for a book or story about someone who had gone through breast reduction surgery. âWho had been on my journey before?â I wondered. I couldnât find anything that wasnât related to breast cancer. I did find blogs â some scary ones at that! â and I thought, âOh hell! Iâll write down my journey then, since Iâm a writer (and teacher of writing), and that way others might be able to benefit from it.â Just because I had nothing to reference doesnât mean others should have to go through this blindly either.So, I went back to my private blog that keeps track of my thoughts about many things and found excerpts that pertains to this particular event (the lead-up, etc.). Iâve added some pre-surgery thoughts and stories, but mostly, this book is concentrated on the recovery part â all the way to one year after the surgery!
