Forever Changed

No one will ever understand how traumatic it is to look down and see a huge, ugly scar where your breast used to be.
It does make you feel less feminine and less beautiful. Maybe not all, but surely in my case. When I put on certain shirts, it really looks awkward, so I usually have to change my shirt at least twice to find one that looks ok on me. My mind still has a hard time comprehending what has happened in my life. I've been under an extreme amount of stress, and I'm praying that I don't have a breakdown.

Sometimes I just want to run away, but what would that help?
Some days I'm super strong, and on other days I'm barely holding on. My memory has been effected by the chemo, and it has started to become more noticeable as time moves on. My nerves are definitely damaged, and I'm wonder after my surgery if I'll have any feeling in my breasts? Right now, I don't have any feeling under my arm where the 8 lymph nodes were removed, and I have no feeling where my left breast used to be.

I've been broken, wounded, emotionally all over the place, and to add fuel to the fire social security keeps denying me disability, my car was totaled in a accident, and I don't have my own home, which is pretty much everything. Even if I just had a car it would be a lot easier for me and my WarriorPrinces to make things happen.

Yes, these are my raw emotions, and it sucks feeling this way, but it's healthy because not every day is amazingly great. But no matter what, I am beyond grateful and blessed to be cancer free and in the land of the living.

A Surgery Date...Finally!!!!

 💯Man, this is so crazy yo!!💯  I've been waiting for this date for over a year.  November 3, 2020, will be like a rebirth for me physically.  Like, I am actually excited, nervous, anxious, etc.  I mean this is one of the biggest surgeries I have ever had.  I mean the mastectomy was a huge deal, but this is Breast DIEP Flap surgery; DIEP stands for Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator.  With the DIEP Flap surgery the lower abdominal skin and fat is removed without having to harvest any of the rectus abdominis muscle.  Then, with the skin and fat from my stomach the plastic surgeons will reconstruct me a new breast, and perform a lift on the other breast to make them even.  Oh and I will be having my stomach muscles tightened up and hernia removed as well.  I won't have a bellybutton, but my plastic surgeon says he can make me a pretty one a later date!!!   I can't lie ya girl is LIT ASF about getting this surgery done, but more...

 Hey Y'all it's the WarriorQueen!!  Sorry I've been off my issue, but I'm back now and baby I've been busy!! As the Executive Producer of Word On Da Street W/Judah....we have been blessed.  I've been doing good health wise, but my A1C number is high and in the Prediabetic stages. So, I'm monitoring my sugar intake until I get a chance to get to a PCP.  Now, since the Rona has gained momentum once again things have slowed down...ughhhhhhh!!!! Folks were so ready to turn up, and now look...we are all going right back in the house‼️💯 This pandemic has taught ya girl a lot; especially about herself. I've learned patience on a Jedi Master level frfr🤣🤣🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ I've also learned that being a Boss & a Powerful Black Woman just makes the misogyny jump right on up out of some of these men, and to be honest in 2021 it's kind of disgusting. I've never been a weak Woman in ever, and I Damn sure won't start now!!!! I am the Executive Produ...
