24. Top Surgery

Moss and Angela are back from hiatus, and a lot has changed! Your hosts are the same, but Moss has a new name and is currently recovering from top surgery. The pair dive back into podcasting with reflections on that surgical care and recovery process, and what it has revealed and affirmed about their relationship. (This episode was recorded in mid-January 2021 but is being released mid-February because getting out of hiatus is hard).

Content warning: this episode discusses physical and emotional elements of undergoing, recovering from, and caring for someone recovering from, surgery. The physical descriptions are not gory or detailed, but Moss does touch on topics like nipple grafts, surgical drains, anesthesia, and post-surgery constipation risks.

Moss also mentions the existence of web resources that can be used to coordinate meals and/or communicate healing processes and care needs to friends and family. Two strong examples are Meal Train (focused on food coordination) and CaringBridge (a shareable online health journal).
