Chapter 12: GoFatMe

As to be expected, current health status was a topic of conversation at the extended Karlstad Family Christmas Corral. I’m an open book when it comes to my health, made evident by the existence of this blog. While discussing my upcoming surgery, my cousin-in-law, Kelly, inquired about the breast reconstruction I will be receiving post-mastectomy. There are 2 methods to choose from. 1: a flap procedure, where your own fat/muscle from the abdomen is used to rebuild the breasts. 2: implants. Which method I qualify for will be later determined by the plastic surgeon at Mayo. Considering my age, I will likely qualify for the flap method…assuming I have enough excess tissue in my abdomen to rebuild with. With that, Kelly schemed a novel idea: crowd source fat donations for my new tits! Instead of a GoFundMe, a GoFatMe! I don’t need your money, I need your fat! Your donations won’t be tax deductible, but the fat deduction is a decent consolation. In an ideal scenario, the more fat donations I receive, the bigger my new tits will be! If all goes well, I’ll need a wheelbarrow to cart my charity chesticles around.
