This is a celebratory episode. I'm gonna add enough text here to bury the photos deep enough so maybe they won't be right out on top and freak anybody out. This episode marks the end to the first year of my journey. I had a LOT of fun creating an audio graphic novel (or novelette) for you. It's a love letter to you all, my sisters. Ok, maybe this is enough text for me to start showing pics. First one is the way I looked in the first week after surgery. WTF? I've not seen anyone with so much black-purple bruising. Crazy.

 

This was a bit later. Bruising starting to go.

 

And here's how he was content to leave me. Look flat to you?

 

NOW, how Metro Surgical Associates left me in the first week.

And how I looked after a few weeks of healing.

And here's me now.
