Bringing up the obvious to your employers

In any professional environment no one has the right to question things that are private.

I wanted to bring the subject of my surgery up because it could possibly affect my work performance initially but I didn't know how.

So last night I was asked to help out the morning of my first day of holiday. I felt bad because the dad would be all by himself and I knew there was just no way that I would be able to help. So I just told him- slightly. I said: I would love to but I'm having a feminine surgery that morning.

After I send that I thought, oh no, what if they think it's something serious and it ends up like that vaginal rejuvination story.

Thankfully the mom (who I adore) asked me if I was ok this morning so I just told her the details.

I said I am having breast surgery and then it took her a second to realise what I meant.

I was so surprised by how happy she was for me. She was oh, I'm so having that done after we decide if we will be having any more kids. She said after all the breastfeeding her boobs just "deflated". (She's also skinny and petite- though very beautiful!)

I was kind of surprised at her openess to the subject. She was of course tactfully asking about saline/silicone. I just told her what I was getting.

I made it clear that I don't want to have watermelons for boobs. She laughed and thought it was funny. I wanted her to know that I just wanted to look in proportion and not like an over exposed bimbo.
I'm kind of relieved now.

I should've known that they would be supportive and happy for me. Shame on me for not knowing or doubting their thoughtfulness.
