after nearly a month of commuting 40 mile round trips every other day to get the cavity of the no longer there breast drained, I have gone a whole week without having to drive in to the Dr. Hopefully that is over with. In a moment of blind optimism, I went in today and got fitted for a prosthesis. All in all it wasn't all that traumatic, and I am now the proud owner of a "beanie bag baby" silicone prosthesis with bra to accommodate it, a pad to fill in the top of the other side so that the shapes match. just in time to be able to wear a lady dress to my husbands dinner party Sunday. Also got a sports bra that holds it so will give it a try at the gym. Not too thrilled about that, I seem to have been doing ok with just nothing and a regular old 5.00 sports bra from Walmart but the trainer mentioned to day that it looked like I was starting to let my surgical shoulder roll inwards, and seemed to be carrying it that way so I guess I will have to wear the whole rig most every day just to prevent postural changes.

I can't tell you how many years it has been since I have worn a regular bra-this may take some getting used to.
