sketchbook dump: top surgery recovery journal

Content Notes: bruising & incision scars

I kept a journal/sketchbook during top surgery recovery to document the experience. Here’s a selection of pages, digitally inked (and some of them hastily colored) 4 u ♥

I had to wear this post-surgical compression binder for a month+ and this is how I helped myself feel better about it, because as we all know Mulan rules 🤟

No nips club ✌

The joy I experience every damn morning when I don’t have to put on a bra is UNPARALLELED. It hasn’t worn off. It’s a delight every. time.

I mean — brains, amirite

I’m keeping excellent company and also in true millennial fashion completely overusing emojis 🍯🥑🍐🐸🎄

(an incomplete list because I ran out of space on the sketchbook page oops)

(because of the boobs thing, to be clear.)

Seriously every time I put on clothes now I’m like :D :D :D
