Yes, really. :) The funny thing is that most people have trouble believing my feet are that big because they look like average sized feet. Although, I have to admit, my running shoes are ginormous. I wanted to buy bigger shoes so my toenails wouldn't bump and had to buy mens. I think I bought men's 10.5. Those suckers are big but they work.

When I was away at school in the ninth grade, we had house counselors.

BTW, I read your article about your 2nd office visit and nearly died when you talked about having to get "the pictures."

No, I'm sure they'd still operate if I refused the pictures. They're to show progress as I'll have to do that again when the swelling has gone down and I'm pretty much all healed. I think I have to give them permission to show other people.

It was pretty mortifying, I tell you. But that was a moment when I quickly reminded myself over and over again that this is a doctor and he sees naked people all the time and I'm most certainly not the biggest or most misshapen person he's ever seen before. Besides, if I'm going to let this man slice and dice me on Monday while I'm dead to the world, I gotta be able to suck it up for a few pictures.

Can I ask how much they're going to do?

They're doing an extended abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and that means instead of doing a tuck just in the front, they'll go all the way around my body. Also doing a medial (inner) thigh lift since I have a lot of loose skin there. On top of that, they're doing a little bit of lipo on my legs.

You're going to look awesome in a couple of months!
