Any way i was duly fitted insisting i didnt want it and that i had not worn a bra for about 15 years. Why would i want to change a comfotable habit? Every thing was duly delivered to my door i threw the bras in my drawer and the prosthesis In a box in my bedroom and there they have stayed for nearly a year. Not very funny sorry but i dont feel in the least bit uncomfortable with only 1 breast. I just htink if other folks are uncomfortable dont look!!!!!! Warm thoughts to you. in NewZealand.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 Jeana, I have a funny. My niece was scared to death of my prosthesis, even though she was a teenager and knew better. I use to take it out and chase her with it!! lol I had allot of fun with that. I have another funny, I belong to a bunko group that meet once a month for dinner and then to play bunko. it was at my house this particular month and decided that I would pull a fast one on the girls. bunko is a dice game and we play for prizes, top prize for most games won, bunko for the most bunko's, the door prize drawing and then the booby prize for the least number of games won. Well I decided to take my 'booby' out and place it in the bag for the booby prize, all the girls got a good laugh....lol..... just thought I would share.....oh I also have some interesting story's about my wig if you would like them...lol hugs carol from michigan Carol -----Original Message-----From: Jeana Sent: Thursday, May 13, 2004 12:22 AMTo: breastcancer2 Subject: prosthesisI finally started typing the stories about prosthesis.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2004 Report Share Posted May 15, 2004 I like that!!! We used to play bunko a few years back, but for some reason, we all drifted away. but that certainly is a good "booby" prize!!!! Your telling this story is making me want to call the old girlfriends up and see if maybe we can start a new bunko group. It was always alot of fun!

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Jeana: More funnies.....I started taking water arobics a couple months ago and the first day out thought I would make my suit look nice so put my prosthesis in and away I went.....after a few min in the water I looked down and there it was just peeking out the edges....I pushed it back in and in no time it was trying to get out again....after about the 4th time of this I told the ladies "if you see anything floating on top or step on something squishy just pitch it to me" they all laughed and the instructor told me if I wasn't self concious about it to not wear it......so I reached in and pulled it out and flopped it on the side of the pool....so that morning I made a few people laugh....including myself.....Angle Huggs & Prayers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Jeana: After my first mastectomy, I was very self conscious and I wore a prosthesis on the right side so I wouldn't be lopsided. Two years later, I anxiously waited the required healing time and then went to get fitted for new bras, knowing that I didn't have to be a D-cup anymore. I chose to be a B-cup and went to work the next day with my new boobs on. At lunchtime, my supervisor and I were sitting in a restaurant and I was squirming and pulling at the bra, unaware of what I was doing. Finally she said, "When we get back to work, go in my office and take that G... D.... thing off!" I wrapped it in a plastic grocery bag, took it home, and I haven't worn it since! When you're over 50 years old and over 50 pounds overweight, nobody notices. Hugs, ADVERTISEMENT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
