They were so close to each other's thighs... I had to cut off their hands haha.
It wasn't dialysis. I tried dieting for a bit and it didn't come off, so I gave up after a few days and I was just stressed out about why it didn't go away. Maybe I'm weak-willed... I can't lose weight just by dieting!! But I definitely invested a lot of time and money in my lower body, and when I thought about my mom's nagging when I said I was going to have surgery, I got greedy. I was careful about what I was eating, so I ate some, and since I had to manage the swelling anyway, I went for a walk and didn't miss out on the aftercare provided at the hospital. I received it and it looks good. It's winter now and I'm already wondering what to wear when the weather gets warmer..
