hey! so obviously this a very personal decision and you need to do what's right for you and what you feel most comfortable with. but i guess the only thing i would say is that for most people, the first few days can be pretty awkward, especially with the long bar, and you just gotta try to get yourself through it and tell yourself how much you will be happy with the end result when it settles down. obviously youve gotta weigh that up what its like during the healing time, but if you can try to focus more on the end result, or the light at the end of the tunnel in a few days time, it might be enough to get you through. hope you make the right decision for you in the end.
