Hey, do you do artfight? if so, what's your username there?

Hahaha that's legit! I... glanced at it, went "nope, no idea" and continued on as usual XD

np! I couldn't figure out the kissing booth thing but maybe next year we can do something with that lol

I think I'm good for now but I'll absolutely let you know!

We have friends with embroidery machines, BUT we both want to do it by hand! It's more impressive that way, and I look forward to getting the learning experience from it. It'll be a LOT though, for sure! LOL

We have an embroidery machine but it's very old and the software doesn't work and the hardware requires a type of port that modern computers don't have anymore XD so it'll be by hand. We're going to map it all out and mock-up and then get fabric and frame it and just... embroider for 3 million years lmao

Recovery had been fine! Worst part was the first week- I half-dozed on the couch sitting up whenever I got so exhausted that I couldn't be awake any longer. But couldn't lay down because the drains were toward my back, and sides/front were no-go. Once the drains were out, I had some very helpful pillows to prop myself on and then could actually rest! And then when the vest was fully off (I think about a month after surgery?), life pretty much got back to normal without issue.
