John and I saw the new year in on the 21st floor of a hotel in the city watching the fireworks - it wasnt quite Sydney new years fireworks, but it was a great experience all of the same. This was on my bucket list that I put together in my spare time during chemo waiting for appointments. It is a very long list, some a dream due to financial and other constraints, including how long I will live out my days and how fit I will be as an elderly woman :)
January 3rd saw me at my plastic surgeon appointment for the year. So far he is happy with it (he doesnt have to wear it does he). Anyway, next step is creating nipples and some liposuction from my hips to fill in the dents in the breasts he has created. I also have one Dolly Parton and one Winona Ryder - containing them is not easy. There are no bras that have a size large C and B in one. The large C is soooo wide that it probably is more of a DD in width, but not in projection. My plastic surgeon couldn't really grasp my difficulty - at least his offsider got my point. Anyway, singlet tops are proving useful for the moment.
When it comes to my bottom, I am still visiting a physio to deal with the after effects of the cat incident. Wearing clothes is still interesting with my hollows in my butt. I even played around with the bra inserts and stuck them in the hollow - kind of like a prosthesis....ha, ha. If only I could show you the photos - hilarious! But then I can imagine if it slipped and fell out - how would I explain that!
Just recently, a friend and I took the kids to a swimming pool. We did some laps. Only when I was getting changed did I realise I had lost my nipple prosthesis in the pool. I was debating whether to send the kids in for a look around. Many laughs were had as we talked about the possible scenarios of it being found and the finder realising what it was!!! Oh to be a fly on the wall. Or they'll just find it in the filter all rolled up like a bandaid and none the wiser.
It's fun to imagine how it could play out.
