    They have to grab and smash the big ones, too. I think they're trying to get as much as the connective tissue from the chest as they can. Like I said, mine are much more stretchy than the used to be, and for that I'm grateful!

    All I can say is TG for breast-feeding! Sure, I have to scoop "the girls" up and pour them into my bras, and yeah when I lie on my back they end up in my armpits, and if I stand up nekkid I look like something from National Geographic; but mammos are pretty slick!

    ROTFL!

    A girlfriend of mine calls it the "empty sock" syndrome.

    (And y'all do know that it's mostly hormones from pregnancy that make them go Pamela then flabby, and not the breastfeeding per se, right?)

    Hi Velogirl - regarding the health insurance issue - have you looked into the California Major Risk Medical Insurance Program?

    Checkout these links -

    I don't know much about it, but it seems like just what you need. (I have similar issues with health insurance as a self-employed person).

    And good luck tomorrow - I just had my annual mammogram yesterday, and at the clinic I go to in Oakland, they have you wait right there in the room until the radiologist has read the films, so you get the info right away (well, in 20 minutes, anyway). When you go to sign in tomorrow, maybe you can ask if you can meet with the radiologist right afterwards, so you don't have to wait through the slow holiday period to get the results.

    Velogirl: I can so sympathize with you. I have a great belief that nothing will come of your redo, but it is hard waiting and wondering and it is near impossible to put something like this completely out of your mind!
