upsized

So I had to go back up to an 8 gauge, my ears were just not ready to be stretched. :( When I took out the right plug it was bleeding. So I let them rest over night and put the 8s back in. I ordered a SSS (surgical stainless steel) 8g because I was advised to by a few people. Hopefully it will be here before I leave to NY on Wednesday morning. My last order came fairly fast so I'm hopeful. Anyway yea the fact that they were so overly sore, swollen and hot I took them out before it got infected. I will probably end up using SSS for my next 2 stretches too. My next stretch wont be for awhile, and I may actually go to the the piercing place to do it, we'll see what the outcome is.
