- Talk to the surgeon about the size you want your new areolas/nipples (don’t be afraid to ask)

- Numbness. No one talks about this for guys who are about to have surgery. You’re going to be numb all in your chest area, especially where the incisions were. They cut nerves as they pass along your chest, and it can take up to a year to regenerate those nerves. Still, feels super foreign for the first two weeks

- Make your bed into a pillow chair, body pillow, two on each side, and two for your head. 

- Sleep alone. I tried to sleep with my girlfriend and it was miserable. You really do need the entire bed for yourself

- Go on Groupon, & get yourself a 10 foot lightning cable iPhone charger, BEST THING EVER, can reach from wherever you are

- Don’t take a week off from work, take two. You will regret the one week, and love the extra time

- When they say “don’t move too much, even after the first week”. LISTEN. I moved way too much and got so sore super quickly. 

- Drink lots of water & eat if your taking the pain medication, otherwise your stomach feels super funky.

- Get stool softeners, & don’t be afraid to take those babies. Don’t wait a week to poop. you’ll surely regret it. 

- The drains are scary & they may hurt while draining or rewrapping your dressings, but once they come out, the second they do, its no more pain, its crazy.

You should share this for people in DC and close to you!!

Lmao, you can go to any other school and go to a 3rd grade class room and see the exact same shit on this photoset….only WHITE….pictures of historical whites, “inspirational” quotes by dead whites etc. And nobody will question the indoctrination because it’s “normal” and “that’s the way it’s supposed to be”

Fuck all that.

On a serious note tho, it’s no coincidence that right after Kony 2012′s execrable, ill-informed white savior campaign, Uganda’s safeguards against international child trafficking were systemically undermined by the US and other Western countries. X
