my breast reduction consultation date came through today. i wasn't sure i was going to talk about this here but if i don't discuss it here i might not discuss it anywhere and i have a feeling it's going to be something i need to talk about. i'd been putting it off for a while but about 5 weeks ago i went to see my GP to discuss breast reduction. it's not something that is routinely done on the NHS, which i guess is fair enough, and it's supposed to be very difficult to get a referral to a consultant, but my GP felt that my case was worth putting forward. i'm not sure if that makes me feel good (because, yey, a chance at getting the surgery done without having to spend more than £5k) or bad (because, boo, i must be a complete freak :)). anyway, i'll be seeing a consultant in a couple of weeks time so we'll see what happens.
ps i should just add that the whole thing completely terrifies me: what if it goes wrong, what if the scars are horrific, how will i cope with the pain and, more importantly, how will i deal with not being able to hold/pick up my daughter while i recover?
