And Away We Go - Jenkintown, PA

I had my consult yesterday and fell in love with my doctor. He made me feel so comfortable and tolerated my husbands questions like a trooper. I will be getting a full TT with abdominal muscle repair. The repair scares me because he said my muscles are separated all the way up to my breast bone. YIKES! Looks like this mamma is gonna be out of commission for a while! I'm also a little freaked out about the drains. I really don't want to have to see that! I'm gonna have to prepare and prepare quick because I'm schedules for February 8th! I can't believe after all these years of wanting and waiting I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! Stay tuned. I'm going to try and get some before pictures. Hope I don't beak the camera!

OK. SO the past two days I ha pent reading and obsessing over my procedure. I looked a pictures until I thought I was going to throw up. I feel like I have the angel and devil on my shoulders. On the one side, the angel is saying, "it's not so ad. You look good. You're a hard worker and you KNOW that you don't want to stop exercising while you heal and fall behind in your black belt training." On the other shoulder is the devil "Think about how AWESOME you're gonna look when this is done. If you don't do it I'll kick your butt forever reminding you how you missed and opportunity to et what you really wanted. I'll force you to live your life facing every single day with the what ifs." UGH. I know it's not to going to be an easy recovery but I want this, so the devil, that vane jerk will win out. Here are my before pictures, the ones the angel took telling me that it's not so bad...
