Your envelope is ready. Hoping for an open post office tomorrow.

My city officially has community spread cases now, so my guess is my date will be pushed out.
I’m trying to be okay.
I’m mostly okay?
Mostly.

I’m so sorry you’re both physically and emotionally tight and uncomfortable. Please know that our joy and support about your surgery - however delayed it might be - is longer lasting than our physical gifts and will be with you every step of the way, even if the gift giving and celebrating and the surgery date end up all out of order. 
That made more sense in my head. Oh well. Safe internet hugs to you, friend.

Today’s boob voyage advent calendar prize was a tiny elephant candle. 
Also received have been many wonderful kind words, a reusable straw, a bookmark, a drawing, a poem, a button with a cat on it, magnets with cute tea pots, chocolates, and stickers.
I am surrounded by love.
Thank you.
No news on the surgery date yet.

Two college friends who are now married sent me the most amazing boob voyage gifts. I want to smack them for going so far above the brief LOL.
Today’s made me tear up, though. It was a list of a bunch of things I can do more easily without a chest, and included the word “bounce” several times, and there was a coupon for a trampoline park in town.
That coupon is now a ways away from being redeemed but gosh it made my heart happy.
I love them.

Mixed feelings these past few days.
Acceptance that my surgery is going to be postponed with almost certainty is coming, although it comes in waves.
I want my chest gone very very badly. But not so badly I want to deprive a front-line COVID-19 healthcare worker a surgical mask.
I wish the world were different. But it’s not.

Quick update:
I checked in with the surgeon’s office again today.
As of right now my surgery is not postponed. 
Surgeries through April 10th have been, the next block has yet to be decided upon. It seems very likely to me at least that they will be but only time will tell. I do not yet have confirmation.
If it does push, it looks like June is the next batch of availability they’re scheduling for with this surgeon.

A good thing:
I received a letter from 
today (as well as 
@Elle ). The past two days I have opened gifts from @Gdogg ! And eaten one of them already. 
Soon I will open something from @TNT
I feel very loved by this place. Thank you all for being here with me.
A neutral thing:
My preop appointment has been canceled (April 9th). They will try to schedule it closer to the actual surgery date, should the surgery date not get canceled too (April 22nd). It basically means nothing yet that this happened.
I do need to inquire about payment, though. I was meant to pay at the preop as payment is due (2) weeks before the surgery… But I’m not paying up until I know I’m getting it!!

My surgery is scheduled for (3) weeks from now. No word on if it’s been postponed. I’m still assuming it will be, but also preparing as if it isn’t, just in case.
That means last night’s beer was the last alcohol I’ll drink until either: a) I get top surgery or b) I hear it’s been postponed further than (3) weeks out.
I’ll call the surgeon’s office today to see if I can get an inside scoop. They know me by now. I’ve called weekly.
Good news:
I still feel surrounded by love.
Today I opened @tnt 's gift from her and Kid-3 and smiled so fucking hard.
Thank you and this community writ large for being such a beautiful place.

Officially postponed.
Tentative plan is for it to be rescheduled for June sometime.

Sorry. But now you def won’t catch Covid from a doc or assistant.
Friend of mine just found out she can’t do her name change court hearing on time and this has to keep driving (at least to get groceries because there is no delivery here) on a license with her dead name.

It really sucks that this pandemic got in the way of your de-boobaning.
