Me! I have returned from a 3 week long hiatus spent recovering at my home in Ohio. I feel so relieved, but also a little....empty? now that all of my pressing matters have been attended to. The MCAT went fabulously and I felt much more confident after the test than I did with my first so that was a win. Then the following Monday I had my breast reduction and I just couldn't be happier. The first week was a little rough, not too much pain but a lot of immobility, nausea, and sleeping. I'm now 2 weeks out and the results look so much better than I could have ever expected, I am so pleased!
I tried on strapless dresses that zipped with no difficulty! Amazing! I can already tell how much more confident I feel which is probably the best thing about the surgery for me. I spent a lot of time trying to hide my large chest under baggy clothes and feeling like I held so much more weight than I actually did, leading me to have a slight body dysmorphia complex and leaving me feeling more body-conscious than I should. Now I feel like the person trapped behind those big boobs has finally been set free and I honestly feel like a new woman.
So what now? Now that I don't have to spend hours in the library studying or down time recovering I'm at a loss as to what I need to do. I am working, but I feel strange now that the hard part is behind me. There is much to look forward to this next year, but there hasn't been a time since grade school that I haven't been in school. So weird. I should enjoy it, I know, but honestly I enjoy school and feel happiest when I am learning and when I'm not in school I feel like I've lost my purpose. At least that makes me feel like I know I am heading down a rewarding career path where the learning never ends. In the meantime, I will cherish my free weekends and time spent with friends.
