Scarification? You’re doing it *wrong*. | tastethefireforyourself

In The Mercy Seat. Not *quite* Ready for Prime Time →. You’re doing it *wrong*. March 8, 2013. Yup, that’s it. Nine days after and I’ve two tiny cat scratches on either side and the worst ever. Case of bellybutton scruff. There’s a bit of swelling and bruising yet, but it’s pretty damn minimal. Soreness? Well, I’m not going winter camping just yet, or lifting anything much over 8 pounds, and my belly is definitely tender, but it’s not that bad. This entry was posted in breast cancer.

Five to Eight weeks after | tastethefireforyourself
https://tastethefireforyourself.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/five-to-eight-weeks-after
In The Mercy Seat. Not *quite* Ready for Prime Time. Five to Eight weeks after. April 30, 2013. I saw the doctor for my follow-up at 5 weeks, and she said I was ‘healing remarkably well’ and was henceforth cleared to lift heavy things and battle monsters. She also noted that my pathology report had come back showing some abby normal uterine cell growth (focal complex hyperplasia is the technical term; a possible pre-pre-cursuror to cancer), so it was just as well I’d had it out. And overdone at that.

In The Mercy Seat. One in a Thousand…. Theatre of Dreams →. Seven days later…. March 6, 2013. It’s an exciting life I lead, I tell you. However, it appears to have done the trick quite nicely. The initial post-operative swelling is already going down; the only major pain I’ve had has been from the scratched cornea; bruising was minimal and is already receding; post operative bleeding was extremely limited; and all other systems are doing *fine*. The other bit is – I feel *better*. One in a Thousand….

In The Mercy Seat. Seven days later…. You’re doing it *wrong*. →. March 7, 2013. I’m dreaming again. And, then, by some miracle, your paint set is restored to you, seemingly intact; all the precious colours, the beautiful fine tipped and familiar brushes that fit your hand just so – it’s been waiting for you all along, and you remember suddenly how much you love it, how precious it is, how wonderful and rich a thing. Old friend, how I have missed you…. This entry was posted in breast cancer. Surgical men...

In The Mercy Seat. You’re doing it *wrong*. Five to Eight weeks after →. Not *quite* Ready for Prime Time. March 26, 2013. Other than that, and the generalized fatigue, everything is going very smoothly indeed – still dreaming, still feeling better *overall* than before surgery, despite the fatigue and residual weakness. This too shall pass – eventually, though it may take six months to a year before enough healing takes place that the swelling on “over-exertion” stops. You’re doing it *wrong*. You are c...

In The Mercy Seat. Seven days later… →. One in a Thousand…. March 3, 2013. My most excellent tenants Hillary and Debbie brought me up to the hospital and dropped me off at the door well before 10:30; I went through the usual registration and thus into the pre-surgical waiting room (where I explained, that, no, I didn’t have anyone with me at the moment, but someone. More quick introductions, two more warmed blankets provided and the old one taken away – all done very discretely so as to preserve my...

In The Mercy Seat. Newer posts →. October 2, 2012. Thankfully, I’ll be spending most of Pinktober in Armenia, far far away from ribbons and Facebook campaigns and ‘Save the Tatas’ and similar slogans. Think for a minute how incredibly insulting and dehumanizing those slogans are to those who are facing a mastectomy, or those who have lived through one. Think how dehumanizing they are to all women.
