Long story short, my dad threw away my mom‘s childhood stuffed animal like shortly after they got married without her knowing. For years, my sister and I have tried looking off and on for the same one or something very similar or even just some better photos of it to see if we could have something recreated. My mom does not know we’ve been on this quest. I’ve tried doing Google image search and ChatGPT search and have not come up with anything helpful so far. Thank you for any help ❤️

Long story short, my dad threw away my mom‘s childhood stuffed animal like shortly after they got married without her knowing. For years, my sister and I have tried looking off and on for the same one or something very similar or even like some better photos of it to see if we could have something recreated. I know this is an absolute longshot and honestly I’m not sure if stuffed animals count under dolls, but this seemed like my best option. I mean children call them their dollies but yes, I would appreciate literally any help or information I can get. My mom does not know we’ve been on this quest. I’ve tried doing Google image search and ChatGPT search and have not come up with anything helpful so far.

Surgery 10/1/25. Now I’m about 7 months but around the 6 month mark is when my nipple sensation spontaneously returned on the left side. It was like completely dead right after surgery. The right nipple had sensation immediately after surgery but I’ve had weird flashes of spiky pain in it. That’s very infrequent but it’s like WHOA when it happened. I haven’t had that in quite some time now. The left side never really had any pain to make me think it was coming back. My right side by my armpit has had some sharp intermittent stabby pains lately and a couple twinges of something in the left side but again just totally random and not frequent. They said it can take a year or more for the nerves to regenerate so I’m trying not to focus on the random pains and just assume that’s what is going on.

Overall things are continuing to heal. I have a follow up appt to discuss lipo revision in about a month. The right side (that started off as the slightly smaller side) has been noticeably larger than the left side since surgery. Shadows and side boob fat (never had lipo discussed or offered for my procedure) make them look more symmetrical than they are. Every bra I put on though pulls to the right. I never had that happening on either side before my surgery. Shirts also pull to the right so I have to do some shifting to even things out. That being said the numbness I would sometimes get in my pinky and ring fingers has been completely absent post surgery and no more armpit rashes so yay! (Not trying to jinx myself here.) I know that things can still change over the course of the year. She suggested having the appointment at about 6-9 months so I have it right about the 8 month mark.

I like seeing other people’s updates so I thought I should add my own since I’ve hit a milestone-ish time period.
