You have a super supportive spouse. And I think that's a really underappreciated component to this. And I've had a lot of. I always get worried if I don't hear from or see the spouses either on calls or in person at meetings because, you know, it's a very difficult journey in general, but to do it without support. And I'll let you talk about this and. And, you know, should have snuck your husband on, but that's a big component.
It's huge. And, and you know, I am blessed to have a husband that obviously loves me for so many reasons, but my boobs are not one of them. And he's like, listen, I want you to be happy. I want you to be in alignment with who you are. I want you to feel amazing. And if this is the route to get there, I'm 100% behind you. And he is, you know, and the best part is, I mean, I love my breasts post surgery. I love them so much.
