My husband has to work overnight so I'm going to eat noodles for dinner then go to bed early and hope that the fireworks/bells from the shrine don't wake me up. Big dinner on New Year's Day, though.

I wasn't planning to go out. Ironically, I live too close to downtown so it's impossible to get a cab (they hold out for the big fares and refuse to show up for the little ones). But I may ride my bike down to my club to watch the fireworks over the lake and hang out.

Hey, me too! I had my surgery just about two weeks ago and I'm still in Buenos Aires recovering. It's quite amazing what they can do nowadays.

Edit: tell her congrats and I hope she's having as smooth of a recovery as I am!

Good recovery thoughts to you!

By the way, I'm watching The Hills with my husband (his idea) and Spencer Pratt tried to fight a dude over DISRESPECTING HIS WOMAN. So any guys who didn't believe us that only douches do that...That's how they tried to prove Spencer Pratt is a douche early on.

Yeah, sure!

I've been on hormones for ~14 months and while they've done a lot to change my appearance they can't do anything to the face when it comes to bone structure. I had a very masculine forehead, so I decided to have it reconstructed (type 3 procedure, same type that Dr. Spiegel does) as well as a rhinoplasty. You wouldn't think it until you saw it but the forehead is actually where the biggest differences between a male and a female face are.

I ended up going to Dr. Di Maggio in Buenos Aires because he was roughly half the cost of the two main U.S. surgeons that do reconstructions and more importantly he is known to be very aggressive yet consistent with his foreheads. He also does a pretty darn good job with noses as well.

Here's a profile pic of me at 10 days post-op - sorry the lighting sucks but it's the best I can do until I get home. This was my most masculine angle (I could never wear my hair up in public because of it, I always had to make sure it hid my forehead as much as possible) and you can see how much a difference the forehead makes when it isn't protruding over my eyes so much.

Lol, you should've seen me a couple days after surgery, my face swelled up like a balloon and I could barely see. Thankfully the pain wasn't too bad at all, but I also didn't have chin/jaw work done which are supposed to be pretty bad pain-wise.

And I don't remember this, but the last thing I asked my surgeon before they put me to sleep was if he could take pictures of me during the surgery. It's REALLY creepy seeing pictures of your own face peeled halfway off your skull. I asked him to e-mail me the pictures, they are actually p. cool if you can get past the gore.

fake edit: I found a picture from a day after the surgery, this was the day before the swelling and bruising fully set in so imagine this but worse:
