The day before surgery.
In the last episode, I told you that after getting implants, the rest of my surgeries were suddenly at risk.
But I had no idea yet, so I decided to spend the day walking around Istanbul and, most importantly, eating something good. Because after surgery, real food was going to be off the table for a while.
And girls, let’s be honest: Turkey has a lot of good-looking men!
This really cute promoter came up to me and tried to sell me something. I said no and kept walking, but he followed me.
Turns out, he wasn’t interested in promoting anything anymore. He was interested in my plans for the evening.
And he didn’t even speak English. But has a language barrier ever stopped a motivated man? 😉
Out came Google Translate.
He asked me out, and I said, “Okay, but we have a little problem. After my surgery tomorrow, you’re not even gonna recognize me.”🤣
I tried to leave, then his friend joined him, then another guy, and at some point I had a whole little Turkish delegation following me.
And I thought, “Maybe I should just move to Turkey. Finding a husband here clearly won’t be a problem.”
But girls, fair warning: Turkish men are handsome, stylish, and very persistent.
Eventually, I escaped back to my hotel.
And that was my last day before surgery.
But the next morning, the fun was over. The doctors were deciding whether they could operate on me at all.
